Article on how to run your own yum repository

[Clinton MacDonald]

Friends:

We all know that "yum" stands for "Yellow Dog Updater, Modified," and 
that we use it all the time in Yellow Dog Linux. Well, the Red hat folks 
are seeing that yum has advantages over their own Red Hat Package 
Management system, and have been moving Fedora over to yum. This can 
only be good for us, since the Red Hat community will now be 
contributing code and -- more importantly -- documentation to the yum 
project.

Here's an article from Linux.com that describes "How To Run Your Own yum 
Repository":

I have also put a link to this article on the YDL FAQ site:

Best wishes,
