I recently tried to update, using yum update, a RH9 server, where yum reported three-four missing dependencies. These dependencies were of course missing from the [updates] base url but were available in the [base] base url. How do I get yum to look in the [base] url after it does not find them in the [updates] url. Same thing would happen when I create an additional mirror from fedoralegacy.org. The updates issued after EOL would reside in a different url in the repository. If a dependency is not found there yum needs to go back to the [updates] url and again if it is not found there yum needs to satisfy it from the [base] url. I am assuming yum would not force the repository maintainer to the task of maintaining a single repository url getting updates from all these sources? or would it? What is the best practice in this case, keeping in mind, all updates must happen from the local repository at one go and the job of repository maintainence is to be seperate. With regards. Sanjay.
