Hi, I'm regularly getting spammed by my own servers, with the following message: /etc/cron.hourly/0yum-hourly.cron: Not using downloaded epel/repomd.xml because it is older than what we have: Current : Sat Sep 12 19:05:04 2020 Downloaded: Thu Sep 10 19:12:19 2020 How can I make this nonsense stop?

I am not sure if it is a problem with the way epel metadata is generated or just out of date mirrors. I occasionally see it with other repos but it happens with epel far more frequently. I have considered adding cron jobs to clean the metadata every so often but so far I just put up with it. You might want to ask on the epel list. Regards, -- Tom me at tdiehl.org

And a weekly cronjob for that sounds like a good idea. I have this problem at erratic intervals, and only with the EPEL repository.
