It seems that the new update system does not consider the proxy option set yum.conf. After installing centos-yumconf-4-4.4.noarch.rpm together with the new yum packages, I was no longer able to use yum. In my case HTTP access is allowed only through a proxy. The proxy URL is configured in yum.conf. If I set the environment variable http_proxy from the shell I start yum, everything works. If I comment out the mirrorlist lines in CentOS-Base.repo yum is working fine without setting http_proxy environment variable (using the proxy defined in yum.conf). Anyone else seeing this or am I doing something wrong?
Try it with the 4-4.5 as it uses port 80 instead of port 81 ... which might make it better.
that will fix this problem here.
To be honest, I don't know if the mirrorlist selects will use the proxy settings of yum or not.
it will work fine. the issue here seems to be the :81 / :80 issue.
