I believe he was attempting to point out to you that the particular problem(s) you're experiencing are not the fault of repository maintainers, but rather are the fault of an improper yum.conf file which does not point to the correct repositories. He is correct in this regard; not all yum repositories are intended to be 100% self-sufficient. Each repository has its own guidelines with which users should familiarize themselves before making use of said repository. And perhaps we're wrong, but based on what you've said during this thread, we have been forced to conclude that you failed to read the guidelines, or at least failed to read them carefully enough.
