Hi there,

This is a user question, not really for developers of yum, but I hope
you will forget me for that one. I've searched on the net, and didn't
get the answer I was looking for.

For our panel, we have the CentOS instructions here:

http://dtcsupport.gplhost.com/DTC-Xen/CentOS

It includes how to add our repository to /etc/yum.repos.d/. The issue is
that our mirrorlist thing doesn't work at all, with CentOS complaining
like this:

gplhost-archspecific/metalink
          |  407 B     00:00
Could not parse metalink
http://ftparchive.gplhost.com/yum/centos/5/RPMS/i386/metalink error was
File /var/cache/yum/gplhost-archspecific/metalink.xml.tmp is not XML
Error: File /var/cache/yum/gplhost-archspecific/metalink.xml does not exist

The information on the web about this is quite scarce when I google for
it... What am I doing wrongly? I really want to use the mirrorlist
thing, and not the baseurl if possible.

Thanks if you help me here,

Thomas
