XenServer isn't intended to be a general purpose Linux platform so installing miscellaneous packages isn't supported by Citrix (you can of course do it if you want but you're on your own). > If citrix do not want that we use yum they should either remove it or > remove the repositories.Putting unreacheable repositories is a poor solution We find that it's useful to leave yum there so that devs and power users can enable it if required. The 404 repo isn't ideal but as it's not causing any problems to normal users it's not on anyone's radar to address. >BTW my 2 cents question : why Citrix do not use yum for updates ?? XenServer was originally developed for the "Windows IT Pro" market - these guys typically don't use yum. Obviously with the widen usage of XenServer in cloud/Linux shops this is something that is us for re-evaluation.

The citrix repository url is not valid (error 404) !!! I dont want to discuss on this poor citrix bug but just get the correct repository URL. A one line answer would suffice.... Thx Aymon -- Aymon
