Use apt Why bother with yum? Does it really make since to have 2 repository systems, 2 none interchangable tools. Make yum read apt configs and repositories. Then yum might have a chance of surviving until next year. Otherwise everyone is going to follow the standard and forget yum. apt/yum needs to have the following debian tools aptitude apt-listbugs apt-listchanges Every system administrator needs to see the fixed bugs and outstanding bugs. Same goes for changes to a lessor extent. synaptic is just too heavy, that is why redhat needs aptitude badly. Finialy redhat needs a tool to simplify pinning packages. Something equivalent to dpkg --get-settings, --set-settings that grabs pinned packages from a file withing the apt.conf.d directory. Please do this in a separate file, no need to mess up the users apt.conf. hmm, I think will go and create this as a perl script, but what to pin needs to be based on something. hmm, a list of bugs would be nice see above apt-listbugs P.S. I really like the directories for apt.conf.d and source.list.d This is a wonderful idea redhat, my hat off to you. -Tim. > Hi > > Can anyone tell me how do i set my repository in the yum.conf file > and what are the values to be set in the /etc/yum.conf > > Please help > -- > Regards, > > Kaushal Shriyan > > Technical Engineer > Red Hat India Pvt.
