Hi, yum update is giving me the following errors: # yum -y install mplayer Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, fs-snapshot, refresh-packagekit, security Setting up Install Process Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile epel/metalink | 12 kB 00:00 * base: centos.sonn.com * c6-media: * elrepo: elrepo.org * epel: mirrors.tummy.com * extras: mirrors.xmission.com *

Hi guys, I'm trying to figure out something wherein excluded repositories for the yum-fastestmirror plugin are still being used by the system. To illustrate: [root at sales ~]# cat /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/fastestmirror.conf [main] enabled=1 verbose=0 socket_timeout=3 hostfilepath=/var/cache/yum/timedhosts.txt maxhostfileage=10 maxthreads=15 #exclude=.gov, facebook exclude=maulvi, .gov.ph, .vn

Hi, are we going to have yum-plugin-fastestmirror on C5? Thanks, David Hrb??

I'm trying to update from the cr repo, but yum-plugin-fastestmirror gets it totally wrong; it selects a mirror in .hk that deliveres bytes per second, and as far as I can tell, most or all of the timedhosts.txt entries are in the Middle or Far East. What's going on? Nobody mirroring cr in other parts of the world? mirrors.ta139.com 99999999999 centos.communilink.net 99999999999

All, We are currently testing the yum-utils and yum-utils-plugins in the dev.centos.org repository. The two main plugins that this allows that I think would be great for normal users are protectbase and fastestmirror. See the announcement on the centos-devel list for details: http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/2005-November/000947.html Thanks, Johnny Hughes -------------- next

I have 2 new servers built from 4.3 isos. I want to update them but cannot do that because of update issues: Up2date fails because of a several dependency issues. yum update fails because of a problem with the au mirrors. yum can find the mirrors but not the headers. Cheers
