Back in my Ubuntu days it was simple. All I had to do was open Synaptic and click on Reload. But now that I'm on Fedora 14 I have to use yum, and yum is a fickle lady.
Specifically, I'm trying to enable a repo, "updates-testing." I just want to enable it temporarily to grab a package that will take Fedora who knows how long to get to the regular updates repo. According to man yum the command should be "yum --enablerepo=updates-testing." But when I try that yum just dumps the contents of yum --help. It would be nice if it would give me at list a hint of what I did wrong. So after I failed at the command line I tried Yumex. I checked the box for updates-testing, but couldn't find any button to refresh the package list. So I shut down Yumex and reloaded it, and when I looked at the repo list updates-testing was unchecked again. Dammit, I checked that box to enable that repo and I meant it. Any suggestions? _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
