* yum repo @ Jeremy R Schmidt ` Janina Sajka 0 siblings, 1 reply; 4+ messages in thread From: Jeremy R Schmidt @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: speakup Anyone know of a good yum repo to use? I'm going to try: ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/4/i386/ Is this all I need if I want to install updates? I'm using fc4, and my kernel is a 2.6.13.x (the speakup modified one). The url I mentioned above appears to just be for extras, so wil I need to use a different site? If so, any recommendations? Thanks, Jeremy ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

No, you're way off base. Extras is not for updates. There are separate repos for updates. Extras are just that, extra rpms not part of Fedora base. You should have repos defined in /etc/yum.repos.d, unless your yum is very old. Your first action, in any case, should be: yum upgrade yum In particular, be sure to put: exclude=kernel kernel-smp kernel-doc in your /etc/yum.conf, or you'll be wondering what happened to your Speakup Modified kernel. he yum FAQ is at: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/YumUpgradeFaq Jeremy R Schmidt writes: > Anyone know of a good yum repo to use? > I'm going to try: > ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/4/i386/ > > Is this all I need if I want to install updates? > I'm using fc4, and my kernel is a 2.6.13.x (the speakup modified one). > The url I mentioned above appears to just be for extras, so wil I need to > use a different site? > > If so, any recommendations? > > Thanks, > > Jeremy > > > _______________________________________________ > Speakup mailing list > Speakup@braille.uwo.ca > http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup -- Janina Sajka Phone: +1.240.715.1272 Partner, Capital Accessibility LLC http://www.CapitalAccessibility.Com Marketing the Owasys 22C talking screenless cell phone in the U.S. and Canada--Go to http://www.ScreenlessPhone.Com to learn more.

Hi, Can you tell me what repos you use, or can you attach your .repo files in a message to me? My yum didn't appear to work, gave errors when I ran it. Think my .repo files may have been old. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Janina Sajka" <janina@rednote.net> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup@braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Thursday, January 19, 2006 6:42 PM Subject: Re: yum repo > No, you're way off base. > > Extras is not for updates.
