Yum Repository Notes

There have been some questions about using yum (Yellow dog Updater, Modified) on Fedora on various lists. I set up a yum repository, and wrote up my notes on how to do this. Here, for your convenience, are various format files.

You can read it from this server.

In addition, if you want a local copy, you can have it in these formats. All are compressed with bzip2.

If you have problems grabbing the files below, you can edit your mime types. They are mime type application/x-bzip2, with extension bz2. In Netscape and you can hold down a shift key while you click on the link.

PDF
Postscript
HTML chunky (lots of small pages. Faster reading.)
HTML smooth (one monster page -- no chunks. Easier to search.)
Raw ASCII text.
Use the Source, Luke.

To ensure that you got a good download, validate the files against the checksums above. The easiest way to do this is to pull in the sha1sum or md5sum files (or both), and run the appropriate program against it:

sha1sum -c sha1sums

or/and

md5sum -c md5sums
