Hello everybody
I've searched this list for my problem but couldn't find an answer.
When I run "yum check-update" I get the following failure:
[root@localhost ~]# yum check-update Repository updates-released already added, not adding again Repository base already added, not adding again Setting up Repo: fedora-unstable Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: fedora-unstable failure: repodata/repomd.xml from fedora-unstable: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.
My Fedora Extras part of yum.conf looks like this: [fedora-stable] name=Fedora.us Extras (Stable) baseurl=http://fedora.quicknet.nl/fedora/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/RPMS.stable
http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/fedora/fedora/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/...

However, when I go to http://download.fedora.us/fedora/fedora/3/i386/ all I can see are the following directories:
RPMS.extras RPMS.os RPMS.updates-testing RPMS.update
Could anyone please help me setting up the fedora extras repos so that I can get xine, xmms-mp3 and such stuff?
Thanks in advance for any help on this.

A couple of things. Fedora.us hasn't, last time I checked, built any Extras for FC3 yet. As you can see from their download site, they are changing from stable/testing/unstable to just Extras, so you'll need to update your config to reflect that.
The stuff your looking for won't be in fedora.us, it is/will be at livna.org, though.
Regarding yum.conf, the new recommended way is to have a separate <packager>.repo file in /etc/yum.repo.d for each repo you use. So you might add a file fedora.us-extras.repo in /etc/yum.repo.d for that repo. Curious, why do you have multiple urls listed like that? Is it a way to specify your own set of mirrors to rotate through?

So yum doesn't care anymore about yum.conf and only uses /etc/yum.repo.d/*.repo files?

No, I just copied it from fedorafaq.org or some other place and never changed these lines.

It still uses yum.conf. But the .repo files simplifies things. Maintainers can now put together a -release package with their GPG key and all the .repo files, so you just install the -release package and go, rather than download and install the key and manually enter the repo info in a monolithic yum.conf. Freshrpms has already released a freshrpms-release package like this.

It still uses yum.conf.
Does it look at repositories listed in yum.conf , or does it just read it for settings?

I didn't understand this. Could you just say exactly what commands you gave, and perhaps the content of one of your yum.repos.d files ?

1. In a Web browser, go to freshrpms.net, find the freshrpms-release package for FC3 and download it.
2. As root, install freshrpms-release:
# rpm -ivh freshrpms-release*
3. That's it. You're done. Freshrpms is now configured in your Yum configuration.

fedora.us has no content so far for FC3. Migration to Fedora Extras is in work ...

rpm.livna.org has FC3 stuff, like the xmms-mp3 RPM.
