yum downloading its indexes all the time is a major PITA

[sergiocmailbox-fedorausers at yahoo.com.br]

I think it's configurable somewhere and the default is every 90 min.

I have my system installed from the minimal iso and I noticed yum doesn't seem to have this behaviour so maybe it's one of its plugins the culprit?

Isn' t there a way to config yum to only download its repo indexes only once a dar and not every single bloody time I invoke yum for something else other than install? (ie I call Yum whatprovides something and get


$ yum whatprovides vlc
