The docs in http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/docs/ do not reflect yum of today ie the yum plugins. Where can updated yum docs be found? By browsing lists such as fedora-devel, centos one can see how the plugins have "stumbled in" but newbies/anyone wanting to pickup on the new features has nothing to read.
Note there are yumex docs at the above location but my query relates to yum
$ grep yum /var/log/rpmpkgs centos-yumconf-4-4.5.noarch.rpm yum-2.4.2-2.centos4.noarch.rpm yum-plugin-fastestmirror-0.2.4-3.c4.noarch.rpm yum-plugin-protectbase-1.1-1.c4.noarch.rpm yum-utils-0.5-1.c4.noarch.rpm yumex-0.99.11-1.0.c4.noarch.rpm

I believe the crew is working on some updates to that stuff. The plugins are "relatively" new in CentOS (I *think*) and, as you know, docs *always* lag implementation in a real world env.

Also, keep in mind that some of the info you might want/need (non- CentOS-specific) might be found here
http://linux.duke.edu/projects/yum/
and here
http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/yum/

We are working on a Wiki ... it will be done soon.
Yum plugins are going to be there.
Also ... I just updated that info into the yum docs as well:

Thanks for the input, Johnny Hughes

Johnny,
I hope a lot of thought has been put into the structure and a policy to revise/update the content.
Since there are different versions of CentOS we need to think whether we want to share information (and specify exceptions per distribution version) or whether we want an entry-point per version with a similar structure underneath and leave them independent.
I'm not sure what the best way would be, but it needs a lot of thought.
One of the best wiki's I have seen that do this sharing of information where it matters and dividing where it doesn't is ThinkWiki:
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/ThinkWiki
No matter where you start looking for information (models, technologies, categories) you always end up the right place. I wouldn't be surprised that the maintainer puts quite a lot of work to keep it simple and straightforward.
Kind regards, -- dag wieers, dag@wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [all I want is a warm bed and a kind word and unlimited power]

The colors on thinkwiki are not to my liking (not to say its not a good piece of software) but http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/ which powers http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ appears better.
On the subject of wikis there are many so appearance alone shouldn't be the overiding concern.

The CentOS wiki will use moinmoin.
Does this mean we can get a moinmoin package in extras? pretty please :)
