Probably not the type of answer you wanted, but still, you could replace
the ftp.ydl.net base and updates entries with ayo.freshrpms.net ones as I
also have all of YDL3 with updates there. Shouldn't be any slower or less
reliable.

If you are then concerned about trust, you can add "gpgcheck=1" to your
yum.conf file and then :
sudo rpm --import /usr/share/doc/yellowdog-release-3.0/RPM-GPG-KEY

This will have yum check the gpg signature through rpm of all packages
prior to installation. I'd recommend adding it anyway :-)

If you also want to install some of my packages, just :
sudo rpm --import http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/RPM-GPG-KEY
