[imdeemvp]

How to create you repo's using gedit. This is intended for our newbies. Dont forget to import the keys.
Update: I am using: enable=1 and gpgcheck=1 FOR ALL OF THEM

1. open terminal and become root (su + password)

2. type: gedit /etc/yum.repos.d/freshrpms.repo

copy and paste it and CLICK ON SAVE!!:

[freshrpms]
name=FreshRPMS-Fresh
baseurl=http://ayo.freshrpms.net/fedora/linux/$releasever/$basearch/freshrpms
enabled=0
gpgcheck=1

3. gedit /etc/yum.repos.d/dag.repo

copy and paste it

[dag]
name=Dag
baseurl=http://apt.sw.be/fedora/$releasever/en/$basearch/dag/
enabled=0
gpgcheck=1

4. gedit /etc/yum.repos.d/livna.repo

copy and paste it:

[livna-stable]
name=Livna.org Fedora Compatible Packages (stable)
baseurl=http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/RPMS.stable
gpgcheck=1

5. gedit /etc/yum.repos.d/atrpms.repo

[atrpms-stable]
name=ATrpms for Fedora Core $releasever stable

gpgcheck=1

This is my /etc/yum.conf for fedora updates

[base]
name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Base
#baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/$releasever/$basearch/os/
mirrorlist=http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/fedora-core-$releasever
enabled=0
gpgcheck=1
[updates-released]
name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Released Updates
#baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/$releasever/$basearch/
mirrorlist=http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/updates-released-fc$releasever
enabled=0
gpgcheck=1

This is the FC3 GPG-Key: rpm --import /usr/share/doc/fedora-release-3/RPM-GPG-KEY*

Here are GPG-keys at fedora FAQ

This is how you use yum to install and uninstall: here

tchung's at www.fedoranews.org has 2 tutorials:

1st tutorial
2nd tutorial

PLEASE NOTE: you can enabled=1 or dislable: enabled=0 and same apply to this line: gpgcheck=1 to gpgcheck=0. Update: I am using: enable=1 and gpgcheck=1 FOR ALL OF THEM

UPDATE: make some changes to livna repo and I am now using stable, testing, and unstable.

you actually can't do:

su -
gedit

because you will end up with an error saying the screen can't be opened. you actually have to be logged in as root, or use something like "kdesu" or whatever the gnome equivalent is. or do:

That's why I said "become root".
