My /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo reads
========================================
[base]
name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Base
#baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/$releasever/$basearch/os/
mirrorlist=http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/fedora-core-$releasever
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
========================================
I've looked up the nearest repositories in
<http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/>
and assume that I should edit fedora.repo as below.
Is that correct?
Do I actually need to specify ARCH?
========================================
[base]
name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Base
baseurl=http://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/fedora/linux/core/3/$ARCH/os/
http://ftp.esat.net/pub/linux/fedora/3/$ARCH/os/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
========================================
I haven't seen any documentation for this.
Is there some?
"man yum" doesn't seem to cover this.
Incidentally, does yum still read /etc/yum.conf ?
Mine reads
=========================================
[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
pkgpolicy=newest
distroverpkg=redhat-release
tolerant=1
exactarch=1
retries=20
obsoletes=1
gpgcheck=1
# PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo
# in /etc/yum.repos.d
=========================================
Is that reasonable?
Should I specify ARCH in this file?
