	Did you mean to send this to the test-list?  I don't believe that
YUM-2.1.3 is ready for FC2 yet.  If you're on test 1 though:

	Did you perhaps use a non - standard yum-conf ?
recently YUM has gone through some changes and in order for a mirror to
be useful, it must change the structure a little.  One is the addition
of the repomd.xml (I guess that is the repository maintenance data?)
anyway the only mirror usable right now is:


[development]
name=Fedora Core $releasever - Development Tree
baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/$basearch/
