How to update local packages using yum
'yum' is a powerful software utility used to automatically update and install/remove packages on an
RPM based Linux system, retrieve package information, and automatically resolve dependencies.
Originally created by Terra Soft, "yup" (Yellow Dog Updater) was improved and is now maintained
by Linux@Duke team at Duke University, becoming yum (Yellow Dog Updater, Modified). yum now
ships with Red Hat and works with Fedora, Mandrake, and of course Yellow Dog Linux and Y-HPC.
Before starting directly with the yum command line options, please be informed that dependency check
is always done with the yum usage. Also the default usage will prompt for Yes/No to ask you if
something is really what you wanted to do. This feature could be overridden by using the - yoption,
though it is strongly suggested that you do use the default option, so that you double confirm what is
happening and also it is a good way to find out all the dependencies of a package.
Pointing to the correct server
In 5.0 and 5.0.1, yum.conf doesn't contain the point to yum repositories, instead the files in /etc/yum.
repos.d do and they should look like this:
yellowdog-base.repo
[base]
name=Yellow Dog Linux 5.0 Base
#baseurl=http://ftp.yellowdoglinux.com/pub/yellowdog/yum/5.0/base/
mirrorlist=http://www.terrasoftsolutions.com/resources/yd50-base-mlist
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY
