hi, I have a silly suggestion it's to allow both baseurl and mirrorlist to be used together and in this case yum should download repomd.xml from the baseurl (which is a very small file) and use the mirrorlist for other files this way we avoid having messages like this Not using downloaded repomd.xml because it is older than what we have: (01:43:55 AM) alsadi: Current : Wed Nov 5 10:31:08 2008 (01:43:55 AM) alsadi: Downloaded: Tue Nov 4 11:12:35 2008 what do you think ? _______________________________________________ Yum mailing list Yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.baseurl.org/mailman/listinfo/yum
