Xen users - Aug 2011 - xcp licence and yum update/upgrade

Hi,

I tried do compile drbd for xcp 1.1b but it cant install some needed 
packages from yum because "yum update" and "yum install"
always fails
with the same error which was written by Menox on 01/11/2010:

yum update
Loading "fastestmirror" plugin
Determining fastest mirrors
Could not retrieve mirrorlist 
http://updates.vmd.citrix.com/XenCloudPlatform/0.1.0/domain0/mirrorlist 
error was
[Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found
Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: citrix

On the last Post in this "thread" on 
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2010-01/msg00263.html 
is a link for a licence problem fix. My licence is still active so it 
must be an other error? Where I can get an longer Licence? Isnt xcp 
free? I m a little bit confused now.

Any Idea why I cant use yum? Can someone post me his Config file with 
the URL?

Thanks in advance

Tobias

You need to enable the proper yum repo and disable the Citrix updates one.

As an example of the repo to enable see:

There is a fix for this issue coming with the next 1.1 RC, there is a
workaround for now:

You won''t be able to use yum for the updates yet. Project Kronos [1]
is working on debian package support and Fedora/CentOS is likely to
follow, which would make it easier to support a yum update.

Thanks,
Todd
