Topic: Modifying yum.conf!

[Denbert]

Hi,

As a European citizen I would like to use another mirror than ibiblio, as this is VERY slow from Denmark.

Looking at /etc/yum.conf says the following:
#------------------------------------------------------------------

The mentioned link gives a 404 Not Found

The server is SME 7.0pre4
I know I need to work with templates, but I can’t remember the right syntax

Please point me in the right direction.

It should be done per the database like in this document about setting up 3rd Party Yum repositories

Thanks, but the link gives me this error:


Fatal error: session_start(): Failed to initialize storage module: user (path: /tmp) in /home/groups/s/sm/smeserver/htdocs/wakka.php on line 246

Strange I don't get an error...

Here is one setup for instance (taken from the page), perhaps this will help you configure your ibiblio link:

Code: [Select]

/sbin/e-smith/db yum_repositories set dag repository \
Name 'Dag - EL4' \
BaseURL 'http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el4/en/$basearch/dag' \
EnableGroups no \
GPGCheck yes \
GPGKey http://dag.wieers.com/packages/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt \
Visible yes \
Exclude freetype,htop,iptraf,rsync,syslinux \
status disabled

After configuring your repository issue the expand-template command:

expand-template /etc/yum.conf

Actually, it won't - see bug 951.

Hi There. I used the link in the text above and it is very cool. But now I have a question. How would I remove one of the repos added to the yum.conf file?

I am getting a alot of html when searching for things in some of the repos.

I don't see any contact info...

I had a similar problem recently.


Ref Bug 2118

I was sent a replacement smeserver-yum package that solved it. I think it's the same one that is in 7.1a1.

Code: [Select]


wget http://www.magicwilly.webhostingpal.com/SME7%20RPM/test/smeserver-yum-1.2.0-22.noarch.rpm
yum --enablerepo=smeupdates-testing localinstall smeserver-yum-1.2.0-22.noarch.rpm
rm /home/e-smith/db/yum_repositories
signal-event post-upgrade
signal-event reboot

This will also remove any custom yum repositories.
