Looking in the man pages (man-db itself not in the minimal install? Wow! It's only 1.7M and not having it continually catches someone off-guard. I'm sure I'm not going to remember this next time I do a minimal install.) for yum, not finding a way to black-list domains.
What I'm trying to do, the chinese servers get read early in the rotation, and they were dogs last night. 1KB/s and slowing down. Not sure if it's the censoring they are shooting themselves in the foot with or the line between here and there or overloading on a Friday night (Porn on the back channels? highly probable in totalitarian and near-totalitarian countries.) or what. Don't care. I don't trust any server in China right now, and I have reason not to right now, other than simple prejudice. (Such as baidu ignoring my no robots directives.) So I want to block yum from going to any domain in .cn . Is there an easy way to do it, either in yum.conf or in yum.repos.d/* , short of disabling the metalinks and grabbing the list of mirrors from the mirrors page and deleting the Chinese servers? (Or setting my own mirrors list up and refreshing it periodically from mirrors.fedoraproject.org, deleting the Chinese servers as I refresh them. That would be a lot of work, too.) -- Joel Rees -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
