Over a year ago I changed my livna.repo file so it doesn't depend on livna.org, which seems to be down more than it's up... here it is, for what it's worth: =b=e=g=i=n==p=a=s=t=e= [livna] name=rpm.livna.org for $releasever - $basearch baseurl=http://rpm.livna.org/repo/$releasever/$basearch/ http://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/rpm.livna.org/repo/$releasever/$basearch/ http://wftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/livna/repo/$releasever/$basearch/ ftp://mirrors.tummy.com/pub/rpm.livna.org/repo/$releasever/$basearch/ #mirrorlist=http://rpm.livna.org/mirrorlist failovermethod=roundrobin enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-livna [livna-debuginfo] name=rpm.livna.org for $releasever - $basearch - Debug baseurl=http://rpm.livna.org/repo/$releasever/$basearch/debug/ http://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/rpm.livna.org/repo/$releasever/$basearch/debug/ http://wftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/livna/repo/$releasever/$basearch/ ftp://mirrors.tummy.com/pub/rpm.livna.org/repo/$releasever/$basearch/ #mirrorlist=http://rpm.livna.org/mirrorlist-debug failovermethod=roundrobin enabled=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-livna gpgcheck=1 [livna-source] name=rpm.livna.org for $releasever - $basearch - Source baseurl=http://rpm.livna.org/repo/$releasever/SRPMS/ http://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/rpm.livna.org/repo/$releasever/SRPMS/ http://wftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/livna/repo/$releasever/$basearch/SRPMS/ ftp://mirrors.tummy.com/pub/rpm.livna.org/repo/$releasever/$basearch/SRPMS/ #mirrorlist=http://rpm.livna.org/mirrorlist-source failovermethod=roundrobin enabled=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-livna gpgcheck=1 =e=n=d==p=a=s=t=e= Note that the "baseurl" lines should be 'unwrapped' so that the lines immediately following them start with #mirrorlist. Note also that the last time I installed that package you had to download the debuginfo file manually, and use -C localinstall /path/to/debug file, because bad sha1 values (the debuginfo repos' primary.xml files having a date stamp prior to that of the debug files themselves) had been passed on for a couple years and the maintainer apparently never checks their scripts' results. Or, just don't install the debug file, which seems to be what happens most of the time. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
