FC3 (T2) and Yum

[ssaady]

I am having a bear of a time getting Yum to work on a new FC3 installation. It looks like there have been some big changes to Yum.

Does anyone have a good yum.conf that is working on FC3?

[ilja]

it is just a test version. So I would advice you not to use it. Normally all the yum.conf with normal servers should work.

This is what I have and be aware I am also using testing and unstable repositories, if you desire not to use these repositories pleeeeeease comment them out
:cool:

[foolish]

You're not supposed to be using third party packages with test releases. Test releases are for testing the core packages and that only. Stick to the core packages, or use Core 2.

Now could you explain why I should not use third party packages that are similar to core packages and do not create dependency problems. Also, Fedora core packages will never provide support for packages like mplayer which is why I go to other sources.
IMHO I see no reason not to use third party packages that do not create a dependency problem ..........knock on wood :-)
Almost forgot, the FC3T2 yum has a new feature that allows it to read apt repository like fedora.us and livna. This is more or less testing those features and these makes yum the better package management. :cool:

[ssaady]

What 3rd party packages? Yum came w/ FC3 T2, and besides, how else to update those core packages.

It's all about the packages.
