Are the repos the following and ONLY the following (excluding custom ones)? 1, 4.0 base OS distro 2, 4 base OS distro (symbolic link pointing to 4.5) 3, 4 updates (symbolic link pointing to .../4/updates/..., which means updates since 4.5 sub-release) Is the above right? or you have even omitted #1 (4.0 base OS distro repo)?
