Yum doesn't work here on os8 for xo-1.75, it gives:
Error: Cannot retrieve metalink for repository: fedora.
I discovered that "sed -ei 's/https/http/g' /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo" fixes the problem; maybe we're not shipping the https cert or something.
Dennis Gilmore worked it out on IRC -- my clock wasn't in the right year, with the result that the SSL cert wasn't in its valid range. (It's a shame the error from yum doesn't distinguish between a simple 404 and an SSL transaction error.)
So, if you see the above error and no-one else seems to be having problems, check your system date. :)
