[WBEL-users] YUM issues in Respin 1

[William Warren]

Is it my imagination or is YUM slow?  This is my first time using 
WBEL and i am wondering if i made a mistake in my config 
file..here are the contents:

### this describes the various package repos up2date will look into
### for packages. It currently supports apt-rpm repos, yum repos,
### and "dir" repos


### format is one repo entry per line, # starts comments, the
### first word on each line is the type of repo.
 

### the default rhn (using "default" as the url means
### use the one in the up2date config file
#up2date default

### When a channel-label is required for the non up2date repo's,
### the label is solely used as an internal identifier and is not
### based on the url or any other info from the repo.

### an apt style repo, this time arjanv's 2.6 kernel repo
### format is:
### type  channel-label      service:server	    path        repo name

#apt arjan-2.6-kernel-i386 http://people.redhat.com ~arjanv/2.5/ 
kernel

### Note that for apt repos, there can be multiple repo names 
specified
### space seperated.

### an yum style repo
### format:
### type  channel-label     url

# Note that you won't actually access the primary whitebox site 
unless
# you comment out the yum-mirror lines below, and unless you are 
on the
# BPL WAN you will probably get an IP ban.
#
yum WBEL3 ftp://mirror.physics.ncsu.edu/pub/whitebox/3.0/en/os/$ARCH
yum WBEL3-Updates 
ftp://mirror.physics.ncsu.edu/pub/whitebox/3.0/en/updates/
yum WBEL3-Extras 
ftp://mirror.physics.ncsu.edu/pub/whitebox/3.0/en/extras/

yum-mirror WBEL3 
ftp://mirror.physics.ncsu.edu/pub/whitebox/3.0/en/os/$ARCH
yum-mirror WBEL3-Updates

# Some third party repos, ready to roll, just uncomment em

# Dag Wieers maintains a large repo and has both i386 and x86_64 
packages.
# To get his key do:
#  rpm --import http://dag.wieers.com/packages/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt
#
# yum Dag http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el3/en/$ARCH/dag

# ATrpms, currently only has RH9 packages, but most run on WBEL3 
and at
# the time this is written they are i386 only but that will 
likely change.
# To get their key do: rpm --import 
http://atrpms.net/RPM-GPG-KEY.atrpms
#
# yum RH9-ATrpms 
http://apt.physik.fu-berlin.de/redhat/9/en/$ARCH/at-stable

# JPackage.org has packages for a lot of distributions but only 
for i386.
# To get their key do: rpm --import 
http://www.jpackage.org/jpackage.asc
#
# yum jpackage15-generic MIRROR/1.5/generic/free/
# yum jpackage15-rhes-3 MIRROR/1.5/redhat-es-3/free/
#
# Replace MIRROR above with one of their mirrors.  A full list is 
on their
# webpages, but to get you started here are a few:
# 
ftp://us.dl.sf.net/pub/sourceforge/j/jp/jpackage/direct_download/
#    http://eu.dl.sf.net/jpackage/direct_download/
#    ftp://sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/pub/Linux/jpackage/
#    ftp://mirrors.sunsite.dk/mirrors/jpackage/
#    ftp://jpackage.hmdc.harvard.edu/JPackage/


### a local directory full of packages
### format
#dir my-favorite-rpms-i386-9 /var/spool/RPMS/


# multiple versions of all repos except "up2date" can be used. Deps
# can be resolved "cross-repo" if need be.

for some reason either yum takes forever or it fails..any ideas? 
  The ncsu entries were not in there so i added them.

My "Foundation" verse:
Isa 54:17  No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; 
and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou 
shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, 
and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.
