Well, I just checked, and FC2@redhat *does* have repodata, for example: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/2/x86_64/repodata/ > So this seriously breaks normal updating from any repository except > at-rpms.

A lot of non-FC3 repositories offer yum >= 2.1 format including Red Hat, as you see. For the transition from yum <= 2.0.x format to yum >= 2.1.x format the yum20 package can be installed side by side with the yum 2.1.x package. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
