Yum repositories on SME Server are to be configured by the internal configuration database. Repositories are stored in the yum_repositories database. The yum configuration file, located at /etc/yum.conf holds the actual configuration and is generated using the data in the yum_repositories database.

====Checking status of installed repositories====
To check which repositories are installed and their status do
/sbin/e-smith/audittools/repositories
On an unmodified sme server only the following are enabled
base: enabled
smeaddons: enabled
smeextras: enabled
smeos: enabled
smeupdates: enabled
updates: enabled
Any other repository that is installed and listed should have a status of disabled.
This is to prevent the inadvertant and potentially undesirable update of packages.
To update packages from other repos, use the --enablerepo=reponame switch in the yum update command eg
yum update --enablerepo=dag
which will also bring in any rpm updates from the dag repo (only for packages that are already installed on your system). See more details below.
