Curious,
<br />
<br />I've got a VM on my Fedora desktop running the new 5107R inside VirtualBox. Its there mainly for testing, but also give me a box to look around before moving all my domains (all donated - no paying customers) to the new version. So I bring it up occasionally when I have time to poke around.
<br />
<br />Lately, I'd noticed a number of little problem fixes announced on the mail list - and frequent "Updates going out now - use 'yum update' to get them". And that's great - just the way Open Source is supposed to work! Problem is, on this 5107R test box - "yum update" never updates. Hum...
<br />
<br />After noticing that, I got to looking around a bit and found there were no "repo" file in /etc/yum.repos.d. There's a warning file about not using RPMforge, and there's a directory called "oldrepofiles" - but no repo files. In that /etc/yum.repos.d/oldrepofiles directory - I find:
<br />BlueOnyx.repo
<br />sl-fastbugs.repo
<br />sl.repo
<br />sl-security.repo
<br />sl-source.repo
<br />sl-testing.repo
<br />sl-testing-source.repo
<br />sl-updates.repo
<br />
<br />And when I checked my existing BX server, I found four files in /etc/yum.repos.d:
<br />BlueOnyx.repo
<br />CentOS-Base.repo
<br />CentOS-Media.repo
<br />Solarspeed-BlueOnyx.repo
<br />
<br />So I'm curious if there has been an update to YUM recently that may not have completed? Something that would move all the repo files to that "oldreposfiles" directory, and maybe I shut down that test box before it could complete? Its weird.
<br />
<br />And can anyone confirm that ALL of those files in the "oldrepofiles" directory should be in the /etc/yum.repos.d directory? If so, I'll move them and try "yum update" again. But some of those "sl" repos look a little scary, especially the "testing" ones!
