Hi all, from time to time, the update of the metadata fails: /etc/cron.hourly/0yum-hourly.cron: Could not get metalink https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-7&arch=x86_64 error was 14: HTTPS Error 503 - Service Unavailable >From a statistical point of view, this happens more often with yum-cron-hourly than with yum-cron-daily. Therefore (among other things) i didn't want to use yum-cron-hourly. Although yum-cron-hourly.conf is configured like this: update_messages = no download_updates = no apply_updates = no The error continues, because the update of the metadata comes before the check, whether yum-cron should do anything or exit: 617 # Update the metadata 618 self.populateUpdateMetadata() 619 620 # Exit if we don't need to check for updates 621 if not (self.opts.update_messages or self.opts.download_updates or self.opts.apply_updates): 622 sys.exit(0) My question: Is this on purpose? And if so, why? (: If so i am going to deactivate yum-cron-hourly by: host:~# cat /etc/cron.hourly/0yum-hourly.cron #!/bin/bash exit 0 host:~# Cheers, Helge _______________________________________________ Yum mailing list Yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.baseurl.org/mailman/listinfo/yum
