Specialized repositories exist for these purposes. For Fedora. They can also be queried from MirrorManager. These repositories are frozen new packages are not pushed to them and are created at various points in the Fedora Release Life Cycle. A new installation tree containing a repository is built for several Products for each test compose or release candidate build , and the trees for the Alpha and Beta releases are made available on the mirrors in the directory see above.
They contain a subset of the full package set that is considered to define each Product. These repositories are usually not used or enabled by default on installed systems, as for that purpose they are redundant with one of the three primary repositories described above. However, one could use a Product repository in place of the fedora repository to keep a system limited to the Product package set. They are represented for Yum or DNF in the fedora- product. There are other repositories that fulfil various niche purposes, which are documented here for the sake of providing a comprehensive reference.
They should not usually be significant to the vast majority of Fedora users. None of these repositories is represented in a packaged repository file, enabled by default, or should usually be used in a Fedora installation.
The bleed repository exists for a single purpose: during Milestone freezes , it contains packages that have been granted 'freeze exceptions' via the Blocker Bug Process or Freeze Exception bug process , and which are desired to be included in the next test compose or release candidate build, but have not yet reached stable state and hence been moved to the fedora repository.
The bleed repository can be found here , but again, is not usually of interest to the vast majority of Fedora users. The packages it contains are always also available from the build system, Koji, and usually from the updates-testing repository.
The latest repositories contain packages for various build 'tags' as they arrive in the Koji build system. It is almost always a better idea to cherry-pick new builds from Koji or Bodhi via their web interfaces or command line tools.
As described above, updates for both Branched pre-releases and final, stable releases go through the updates-testing process before being moved to a stable repository.
Before the final release, they are placed in the fedora repository. After release, they are placed in updates. The reason for the difference is that we want to have a record of the exact 'state' of a given Fedora stable release. For a stable release, the tree containing the fedora repository is that record, and the fedora repository it contains is the canonical record of the precise frozen package set that formed the main part of that stable release.
Since we wish to maintain this frozen state for the fedora repository, we cannot place updates directly into it. The necessity for the updates repository therefore becomes obvious - we need a place to put updates to stable releases that is outside the frozen state of the release.
Before a stable release occurs, this mechanism is not necessary. Before the release is declared to be done, there is no frozen state of the release: effectively, the whole Branched development process is working towards what will become the frozen state of the release, so of course package builds for the Branched release land directly in the fedora repository. The reason is that the purpose of the updates-testing system is somewhat different in each case.
In most cases, Fedora systems are expected to have the updates-testing repository disabled. Some QA testers then enable the repository on testing systems to try out the updates and provide feedback. The testers perform the job of making sure the updates are OK before they reach the general user population. With this setting, yum will not install an i package to update an i package already installed on the system.
Listing multiple packages for exclusion can be accomplished by quoting a space-delimited list of packages. With this setting, yum removes all packages in a package group, regardless of whether those packages are required by other packages or groups.
For more information on removing packages, refer to Intelligent package group removal. Here you can provide a space-separated list of packages which yum can install , but will never update.
Refer to the yum. When one package declares in its spec file that it obsoletes another package, the latter package will be replaced by the former package when the former package is installed. Obsoletes are declared, for example, when a package is renamed. Quick Links. Search Forums. Show Threads. Show Posts. Yum repository not working in Fedora Registered User. Join Date: Jun Thanks for your replies.
I think its better for me to install Fedora 20 and above. The reason for me to stick with Fedora 16 was that I was going to configure Lanforge traffic generator tool on that and all my other server are also having F16 so I though its a better option to stick. Anyways I will try it out with the F20 and update if I face any issues.
The reason for doing yum list is to verify weather its listing the packages from yum repository.. Thanks once again Muzaffar.
Join Date: Sep I'd seriously consider upgrading your other servers to a current version of Fedora as well. Join Date: Feb Hi, I'd definitely upgrade, yes. And there's not much point going to Fedora 20, as it's been dead for almost two years by this point too. If you're going to upgrade, go to the highest current supported version that you can which right now, means Fedora 24 or Sure, I will upgrade all my Fedora version to the latest one.
