ASK: Accidentally deleted Repo in fedora 15

hi all, im nubie in linux...

I have a question, I've made fastest repo & accidentally delete the folder "yum.repos.d". After I tried to find hows and it appears again "yum.repos.d". but, now I can not update this repo & not from local my country. please help me ...

How do I can update via the fastest repo from local country again, and disable this fastest repo from another country?
im from indonesia, ussualy i used repo "kambing.ui"

Code:

[root@bdm kestrel]# yum install update

Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit

Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile

 * rpmfusion-free: ftp.astral.ro

 * rpmfusion-free-updates: mirror.cse.iitk.ac.in

 * rpmfusion-free-updates-testing: ftp.astral.ro

Setting up Install Process

No package update available.

Error: Nothing to do

many thx...

busoh, this is from another thread where someone was doing the same thing. Tell me if it helps.

Quote:

This error is because you told yum to install the package named "update" which doesn't exist.

-I think what I usually use is

Code:

yum -v upgrade

with the -v "verbose" switch providing a little more detail about what is being done.

This guide has helped me out a lot with yum and its ins and outs. Try and make sure you have all the repositories installed.

this is not quite the case. Before, you were trying to install "update", which doesn't exist. This time it was telling you there were no packages marked for update.

Hi...
I am using Cent O/S 5.5 and it is installed with software RAID(RAID level 1). I want to update/upgrade O/S and softwares. If I run yum update or yum -v upgrade, does anything goes wrong with the mdadm package? I am getting fear in updating O/S because there are many important data. So could you please guide me, can I run above commands or should I not run?

loveulinux,

maybe your question deserves its own thread? I'm a Fedora user, I'm not as familiar with CentOS, but as I understand it, upgrading it to the next OS version is officially not supported- you should a clean install. If yum is also the package manager for CentOS (pretty sure it is), then

Code:

man yum

will tell you more than I can about how to update your software.

Loaded plugins: fastestmirror,

you already had fastestmirror installed.

it seems the guide I posted is a little outdated, or really only useful for initial set-up. It seems you already have all of the repositories installed. If Firefox is not being updated, try

Code:

yum reinstall firefox

Ok, if I run just "yum update", Does anything goes wrong with mdadm package?

I would assume since you deleted the repositories directory, yum has no repo's to compare your current system to, thus its not finding any updates to do...

Try looking into "yum repolist" to check.

Try grabbing /etc/yum.repos.d/* from a livecd, and replacing what was deleted.
