Hi Don,

Yes, I have seen that. But I don't know what http://timkay.com/aws/ has to do 
with YUM on BlueOnyx. Our YUM either runs through a cronjob that you can 
configure from the BlueOnyx GUI, or you can run "yum update" manually from the 
shell or from SSH.

I don't see the need to run it through a third party UI or API and I don't 
know why that third party API would have troubles with our YUM repositories. 
If it has problems with that, then perhaps the makers of 
http://timkay.com/aws/ should look into it?

My question is: Does a manual "yum clean all; yum update" from SSH work for 
you? If the answer to that question is no, then I'll gladly be of help to 
assist you to get that working again.

Just out of curiosity: If you're running BlueOnyx in the Amazon cloud, how did 
you get it installed? Maybe that's the core of the problem, as that procedure 
ain't really that easy or trouble free. I rolled up some semi official 
BlueOnyx 5107R and 5108R EC2 images and published them to the EU-West zone. 
However,  I charge a little one time fee for their usage to support the 
maintenance of those images, as that's otherwise somewhat of a time and cash 
sink.
