What happened to yum and up2date repositories ???

[Casimiro de Almeida Barreto]

Hello,

> From my last "yum update"  on, neither yum.conf nor
> yum.repositories.d 
nor up2date related configuration hold any data on repositories
anymore... Consequence: I' m not able to yum or up2date.....

The next thing, I tried to download yum and up2date directly from
download.fedora.redhat.com and rpm -Uvh them... No use: configuration is
still missing.

Where I can get the configuration files ???

Best regards,

Casimiro


BTW: I'm running FC3rc2

1. you should read the archives of this and the test-list.
2. the configuration files are in the fedora-release package.

That would have been worth a large heads-up.

a) splitting off the config files from the packages was a very good
   thing! It will allow config file updating by Red Hat and/or other
   parties w/o replacing the binaries,

b) putting this into fedora-release is bad, no one wants to replace
   this package, other than fedora derived distros.

Could the config files be put into `fedora-config-package' or similar?
Please? :)

It's normal. 
Only fedora derived distros will change /etc/yum.repo.d/* files provided
by fedora-release.

I does not understand your point.
You can provide fedora-release-atrpms with /etc/yum.repos.d/atrpms.repo.

I thought all of /etc/yum* had migrated to fedora-release, not only
the /etc/yum.repos.d/* entries.
