Dear all,
I'm using a slow internet connection. While searching or installing
packages, yum often updates its package list. Could you please tell me
how to stop this?
It's better to have an updated list, but updating in a slow connection
is pain :)
Look at /etc/yum.conf. The value metadata_expire is used to control
this and extensively documented in the file itself. Also note that yum
-C search quake for example would force yum to run from cache.
