That makes sequential runs of yum inconsistent. All the time, I see things like: [root@serve ~]# yum list mach Setting up repositories extras 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:01 updates-released 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 base 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 Reading repository metadata in from local files Available Packages mach.x86_64 0.4.8-1.fc4 extras [root@serve ~]# yum list mach Setting up repositories extras 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 updates-released 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 base 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 Reading repository metadata in from local files primary.xml.gz 100% |=========================| 826 kB 00:01 extras : ################################################## 2350/2350 Added 22 new packages, deleted 53 old in 1.59 seconds [root@serve ~]# yum list mach Setting up repositories extras 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 updates-released 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 base 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 Reading repository metadata in from local files primary.xml.gz 100% |=========================| 838 kB 00:05 extras : ################################################## 2381/2381 Added 53 new packages, deleted 22 old in 1.61 seconds Available Packages mach.x86_64 0.4.8-1.fc4 extras where a repository oscilates between today's view and some obsolete view. Perhaps I should file a yum RFE to make yum not only select mirrors for access speed, but also for the recentness of their metadata file?
