Dear All FEDORA-LIST Members,

I would like to request you, to plz go through my mail and let me know why these errors are shown with the following repo-files of /etc/yum.repos.d/. The files are enclosed herewith this mail.

Please answer my question:-

1.

If the base url with repository path has to be defined in all the .repo files present in the directory, /etc/yum.respos.d/ ?


2. How does it make a difference to use the baseurl in  all the three section of all these files viz.,fedora-development.repo  fedora.repo  fedora-updates.repo  fedora-updates-testing.repo ?

3. Is it necssary to make the value of the variables-

 enable=1
 gpgcheck=1

or should they be made equal to 0?

4. In the case when enable=1 and gpgcheck=0 and with all the enclosed files of /etc/yum.repos.d/  i got the following errors as shown below:-

Plz note that the files could not be enclosed as, the internet leased line was little slow.

I am sure some of you have experienced this,and would expect to know from your experience,  how to solve this ??


Your kind helpful ideas would enable me to install opendap packages!!!
