that's what i'm looking for ... only problem is, it doesn't look like any of the other repositories i've seen (in terms of filesystem structure), so when i add the following to my /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo file:
[debuginfo] name=CentOS-$releasever - Debuginfo mirrorlist=http://vault.centos.org/debuginfo/$releasever/$basearch gpgcheck=0 enabled=1... and then do a "yum list" command, yum does go out to retrieve the contents of that repo, but it pukes on the input because it's not what yum is expecting (it says it's unparsable).
other repos i've seen have 3 top-level directories: RPMS/ headers/ repodata/
.... and this one doesn't have the same filesystem structure, it just has a top-level directory with all of the packages in it.
so long story short: how do i enable this repo in yum, given it doesn't look like it follows the standard repository structure?
It would work; change the mirrorlist to baseurl. The only thing is that the metadata (repodata files) are not up-to-date at this moment, so newer rpms may not be found by yum. If you do not need to pull many debuginfo files, you can just manually download them.
