yum problem with fedora.us repos

[Christian Hauser]

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/...

http://fedora.mirror.sdv.fr/fedora/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/RPMS.stable
   http://download.fedora.us/fedora/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/RPMS.stable
gpgcheck=1

[fedora-unstable]
name=Fedora.us Extras (Unstable)
baseurl=http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/fedora/fedora/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/...

http://fedora.mirror.sdv.fr/fedora/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/RPMS.unstabl...

http://fedora.quicknet.nl/fedora/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/RPMS.unstable

http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora.us/fedora/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/RPMS...

http://download.fedora.us/fedora/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/RPMS.unstable
gpgcheck=1

[fedora-testing]
name=Fedora.us Extras (Testing)
baseurl=http://download.fedora.us/fedora/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/RPMS.testing

http://fedora.quicknet.nl/fedora/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/RPMS.testing

http://fedora.mirror.sdv.fr/fedora/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/RPMS.testing

http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora.us/fedora/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/RPMS...

http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/fedora/fedora/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/...
gpgcheck=1

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.

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.
