I tried to set up yum.conf to use the rawhide repository, but was unable to figure out the interactions among distroverpkg, releasever, baseurl and updateurl. I am trying to update the RH9 evolution package to the Rawhide evolution package, but I have been unable to get yum to use the Rawhide repository. I tried installing rawhide-release manually, and could not get that to work. Replacing $releasever by rawhide in yum.conf, and commenting out the [updates] section worked better, but yum update evolution fails with HTTP Error 404 trying to read http://mirror.dulug.duke.edu/pub/yum-repository/redhat/rawhide/i386/headers/header.info This file appears in Mozilla, but Yum can't find it. I have just installed Yum, and can't find any clues in the info files or Howto. What should I try next? Cleaning the Yum directories and trying again? /etc/yum.conf contains: [main] cachedir=/var/cache/yum debuglevel=2 logfile=/var/log/yum.log pkgpolicy=newest distroverpkg=rawhide-release tolerant=1 exactarch=0 basearch=i386 releasever=rawhide [base] name=Red Hat Linux $releasever - $basearch - Base #baseurl=http://mirror.dulug.duke.edu/pub/yum-repository/redhat/$releasever/$basearch/ baseurl=http://mirror.dulug.duke.edu/pub/yum-repository/redhat/rawhide/$basearch/
