Wow, this is exactly what I'm looking for, I think. Thanks! Is there a special thing to kickstart finding this file? I've made one according to what I've Google'd, and put it in the top of my repository. But: $ yum grouplist coolpkgs Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) Server: Fedora Core 2 base Server: Quris Standard Packages Server: Fedore Core 2 updates Finding updated packages Downloading needed headers Getting groups from servers No groups provided or accessible on any server. Exiting. I don't even see yum hitting my web server looking for a yumgroups.xml file. Otherwise my repository seems to work. This is Yum 2.0.7 on FC2, incidentally.
