Haven't been able to find a protect base python plugin from CentOS, although I clearly recall it being said that CentOS supported it and the fastest mirrors.
Need to get it from the Duke plugin web page? Or what did I do wrong?
TIA
yum install yum-plugin-protectbase
That's the one I'm missing. I wonder why it didn't show in my yum list? *sigh* more learning curve I guess.
If fastest mirror is already working, then this should be too.
Fast mirror *seems* to be and I can find it's .py and config stuff.
you need to add the lines:
protect=1
or
protect=0
to all repos in /etc/yum.conf or /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo files.
AND you need to edit /etc/yum.conf and add the line:
plugins=1
Got all that ok. It's only the protect* I couldn't find anywhere.
Thanks,
