Howdy, I have made the new yum-conf's to fix the hanging yum, and other problems. They are currently at ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/test/ Basically, pick the correct one for you. ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/test/yum-conf-301-7.SL.noarch.rpm ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/test/yum-conf-302-7.SL.noarch.rpm ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/test/yum-conf-303-7.SL.noarch.rpm ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/test/yum-conf-304-7.SL.noarch.rpm ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/test/yum-conf-305-7.SL.noarch.rpm ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/test/yum-conf-40-7.SL.noarch.rpm ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/test/yum-conf-41-7.SL.noarch.rpm If no problems are found between now and monday August 29, they will go into the errata then. (Except for S.L. 3.0.5, and S.L. 4.1, which already have the fixes in them.) Some notes on these. 1 - These are specially written for errata. If you have customized any of the following files, it will NOT overright them. S.L. 3.0.x /etc/yum.conf /etc/cron.daily/yum.cron /etc/yum.d/yum.cron.excludes /etc/yum.d/yum.cron.primary /etc/yum.d/yum.cron.secondary S.L. 4.x /etc/yum.conf /etc/cron.daily/yum.cron /etc/yum.d/yum.cron.excludes /etc/yum.repos.d/* A note on this note. If you have changed yum.cron, the new one will be saved as yum.cron.rpmnew. cron is smart enough to know NOT to run this file. You will have to move it over yum.cron by hand. 2 - These rpm's fix the following problem's (where the problem existed) in the yum.cron - Check to see if yum is hung from night before, kill it if it is. - Exact arch set to 1 (meaning keep the exact arch when updating) important for x86_64 people who have installed some i386 packages. - On 301, and 302, the date in the subject line was changed to agreed upon international date Troy -- __________________________________________________ Troy Dawson [log in to unmask] (630)840-6468 Fermilab ComputingDivision/CSS CSI Group __________________________________________________
