Hi i am searching the web for a PCLinux 2007 - Repository. unforunately i got banned on http://galinux.myftp.org/ after downloading 6GB of rpm -packets.
I pull a repository from a person and I want to push to my own repository because something change and I want to use different gitignore file. How can I do it? Thanks, and I want to use github and bitbucket both. Then is it possible. Thanks.

Hi.
I am completely new in Linux and I'm trying to learn as much as I can while doing my job.
I am following directions from a wi-fi card vendor. In it, they require to download Fedora 13 to the laptop, which I have already done so. uname -a displays:
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.33.3-85.fc13.i868.PAE #1.
The directions ask to update the kernel with "yum install kernel-PAE". While connected to the internet, when I type that, the following error comes up:
Loaded plugin : presto, refresh-packagekit
Error: cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: fedora
Please verify its path and try again
What does it mean and what file do I need to update with the right path? Please, let me know what other information you need.
Thank you very much
"yum update" command is not working.
IP information and relevant details below:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is the error message :
yum update
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks
One of the configured repositories failed (Unknown),
and yum doesn't have enough cached data to continue. At this point the only
safe thing yum can do is fail. There are a few ways to work "fix" this:
1. Contact the upstream for the repository and get them to fix the problem.
2. Reconfigure the baseurl/etc. for the repository, to point to a working
upstream. This is most often useful if you are using a newer
distribution release than is supported by the repository (and the
packages for the previous distribution release still work).
3. Disable the repository, so yum won't use it by default. Yum will then
just ignore the repository until you permanently enable it again or use
--enablerepo for temporary usage:
yum-config-manager --disable <repoid>
4. Configure the failing repository to be skipped, if it is unavailable.
Note that yum will try to contact the repo. when it runs most commands,
so will have to try and fail each time (and thus. yum will be be much
slower). If it is a very temporary problem though, this is often a nice
compromise:
yum-config-manager --save --setopt=<repoid>.skip_if_unavailable=true
Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: base/7/x86_64

Steps taken so far :
1. Change to google DNS -->
2. Edited the CentOS-Base.repo file -->
3. Restarted network services -->
Literally I had search all over the place, till now i could not fix the issue.
Appreciate if someone come forward and help me to rectify this issue.
Hello again,

[goofy]
baseurl=ftp:///mydirectory/myrepodir
gpgcheck=0
---
Myrepodir contains all the *.rpm files i need
when i exit and save i get anytime this error
Code:
ftp:///mydirectory/myrepodir/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] PYCURL ERROR 6 - ""
Trying other mirror.
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: repobase. Please verify its path and try again
What am i wrong for? How can i just say to my rhel/centos system
"Ehy, for rpm look inside /mydirectory/myrepo" ?
Thanks
Hello Experts,
I would like to create a server which can act as a YUM repository of Oracle Linux 6.5 and CentOS 6.5. Also I would like other servers to access this repo via http. I am stucked here to understand how I can bring all "RPMs" in to "/repo/OracleLinux/OEL6/current/x86_64" and always keep it updated. I would appreciate any help on this.
Thanks In Advance
Hi,
I have a Fedora 21 system, but I would like to update it using repos from Fedora Core 4.
I have found this article - How to Use YUM in Fedora Core 4 - that allows changes to be made to the yum settings, so that you can run yum on Fedora 4.
Is it possible to setup Fedora 21 to point at this repository over the normal one?
I realise that this is not good practice, but I would like to test out a theory to see if this will work.
Hello I am a newbie to this forum and Linux. Thank you ahead of time for your advice, constructive criticism and sharing.
Fedora 15
I enter following command> yum install-gnome-tweak-tool
The result is >cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: fedora. please verify its path and try again.
I dont know how to get to the repo to fix it. In the files i need to remove an s from HTTPSS... We did it in class but i want to learn for myself.

Hi all,
This is my /etc/apt/sources.list of jessie, what's wrong as I am getting the following error output .

This is my /etc/apt/sources.list :-

#deb http://http.debian.net/debian jessie-updates main contrib non-free
#deb-src http://http.debian.net/debian jessie-updates main contrib non-free
Now I am guessing one or more of the entries above are wrong, as probably all of testing-updates would probably come into play once jessie is released, right ?
