- Issue: yum
Don't ever auto-modify yum.conf. Too confusing. Invent a system for selecting/allocating a mirror. Users should always use a 3rd party mirror and not the main caosity mirrors. Issue: every mirror has different paths. We need to clean up all the symlinks and multi versions on the mirrors. (We need someone in change of the mirrors)
Why not to point "default" yum.conf to 3rd partymirrors
Something like below.
I let mirror.centos.org there because of statistics ... :-), but this setup makes it 1/10th of all downloads .... If you add more mirrors it will be less ...
(I forced failovermethod=roundrobin, but it is not necessary http://slovnik.seznam.cz/sl.fcgi?src_trg=en_cz&len=30&word=necessary%20steps
it is default) ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ [main] cachedir=/var/cache/yum debuglevel=2 logfile=/var/log/yum.log pkgpolicy=newest distroverpkg=redhat-release installonlypkgs=kernel kernel-smp kernel-hugemem kernel-enterprise kernel-debug kernel-unsupported kernel-smp-unsupported kernel-hugemem-unsupported tolerant=1 exactarch=1
