Hi all,

 

Does anyone know if the yum fastestmirror plugin is available in RHEL6?

 

[wolfy at wolfy2 ~]$ rpm -qa yum\*fast\*
yum-plugin-fastestmirror-1.1.26-11.el6.noarch

Where is that package?  I can't find it on the RHEL6.0 media.


I am not sure about the media, but
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/6ComputeNode/en/os/SRPM
S/yum-utils-1.1.26-11.el6.src.rpm generates it. Snip from the spec:

%package -n yum-plugin-fastestmirror
Summary: Yum plugin which chooses fastest repository from a mirrorlist
Group: System Environment/Base
Provides: yum-fastestmirror = %{version}-%{release}
Obsoletes: yum-fastestmirror < 1.1.20-0
Conflicts: yum-fastestmirror < 1.1.20-0
Requires: yum >= 3.0
[...]

# Plugins to install
plugins="\
 changelog \
 fastestmirror \
 protectbase \
[...]

I'd check the optional channels .

 

Right on the money.  Thanks.
