I am looking for some good repositories for keeping fedora boxes up to date
using yum. Does anyone have any suggestions. Here is my current yum.conf:
<yum.conf>
[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
pkgpolicy=newest
distroverpkg=fedora-release
tolerant=1
exactarch=1
[base]
name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Base
baseurl=http://fedora.redhat.com/releases/fedora-core-$releasever
[updates-released]
name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Released Updates
baseurl=http://fedora.redhat.com/updates/released/fedora-core-$releasever
For [base] and [updates-released], you probably want to add a couple mirrors that are
closer to you (and faster), and move the Redhat servers to the end of the list. You'll
get better speeds and less problems that way. Add a line
"failovermethod=priority" to the end of these 2 sections, and yum will check the
first server, then move down the list if it has problems. Look at "man yum.conf"
for more details.
