Hello centos community, I have a personal repository with self-made RPMs, and i need to include this repository to yum.conf.

Hi, I need yum-arch on RHEL4, yum does not come with RHEL4 so I took the CentOS package, but this one requires a yumconf package (satisfied by centos-yumconf) which I thought was pretty strange. Why does one require a yumconf package uberhaupt ? Why are we limiting a generally useful package to CentOS (or a system that provides yumconf) ? I know you can fix it in several ways, but I'm

Hello. I am scratching my head about sendmail for a simple thing: I have a CentOS 4 box on which I would like to receive e-mails. when I type 'telnet localhost 25' I can connect successfully to the sendmail service.

If you block port 81 outbound, centos-yumconf-4-4.4.noarch.rpm will cause your yum to stop working for CentOS-4.

I need to update a CentOS 4.0 system to CentOS 4.3. In my opinion, I should start out with a "yum update yum centos-yumconf" and then follow that with a "yum update". Does anyone have any other input as to what other packages might be needed to be updated with yum and centos-yumconf before the mass upgrade? Thanks, Barry

Hello several months ago I install WhiteBox Linux on several severs, I was happy, not woriing about upgrading every 1,5 year as when I use RH 4.0, 6.0, 7.3, 9.0 .... And then WhiteBox went black, WBEL updates release slowed down and maintainer wont help form anybody. Just telling "If you want quick updates, build it yourself.".

The proxy URL is configured in yum.conf. If I set the environment variable http_proxy from the shell I start yum, everything
