The docs in http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/docs/ do not reflect yum of today ie the yum plugins. Where can updated yum docs be found? By browsing lists such as fedora-devel, centos one can see how the plugins have "stumbled in" but newbies/anyone wanting to pickup on the new features has nothing to read. Note there are yumex docs at the above location but my query relates to yum $ grep yum /var/log/rpmpkgs centos-yumconf-4-4.5.noarch.rpm yum-2.4.2-2.centos4.noarch.rpm yum-plugin-fastestmirror-0.2.4-3.c4.noarch.rpm yum-plugin-protectbase-1.1-1.c4.noarch.rpm yum-utils-0.5-1.c4.noarch.rpm yumex-0.99.11-1.0.c4.noarch.rpm ----------------------------------------------- Improve the mailing list by performing a simple search before posting and reading the faq/etiquette.

The plugins are "relatively" new in CentOS (I *think*) and, as you know, docs *always* lag implementation in a real world env.> <snip>Also, keep in mind that some of the info you might want/need (non- CentOS-specific) might be found here http://linux.duke.edu/projects/yum/ and here http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/yum/ -- Bill -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Since there are different versions of CentOS we need to think whether we want to share information (and specify exceptions per distribution version) or whether we want an entry-point per version with a similar structure underneath and leave them independent. I'm not sure what the best way would be, but it needs a lot of thought. One of the best wiki's I have seen that do this sharing of information where it matters and dividing where it doesn't is ThinkWiki: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/ThinkWiki No matter where you start looking for information (models, technologies, categories) you always end up the right place. I wouldn't be surprised that the maintainer puts quite a lot of work to keep it simple and straightforward.
