Hi John Im not familiar w createrepo, so i may have done this incorrectly. I d/l'd the createrepo app from duke and ran createrepo -v /etc/yum.repo.d/ files were generated, but that didnt seem to make a difference when i reran yum update I did examine the output'd primary.xml.gz file and it didnt appear to have much information. I haven't successfully ran yum yet, so its likely that my local repository doesnt even exist yet. Does this make any sense? thanks pete On Tue, Nov 13, 2007 at 06:26:22AM -0800, John Lee wrote: > MessageCan you try running createrepo and re-generate the metafiles for that particular repository? > > i.e. createrepo -v /path/to/your/repodata/primary.xml.gz/ > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Peter Kekenes-Huskey > To: yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Sent: Sunday, November 11, 2007 8:08 PM > Subject: yum rhn timeout error > > > Hi > I'm trying to do a package update using yum for my RHEL5 system (still have an active subscription). In a nutshell, the program hangs indefinitely when it attempts to download primary.xml.gz. I've tried disabling my firewalls to no avail. I can ftp to the repository at ftp.redhat.com. Has anyone encountered this issue?
