Downloading "powerpc-rtems4.10 gcc" for a few hours on Fedora 12

[Darren Burridge]

I recently had trouble with rtems & Yum over the weekend and Monday. It was
an infinite ETA problem in Yum extender. In Yum it just locked.
 
Joel's fix was:
 
"The earlier message showed that rtems.eu was giving trouble.
In /etc/yum.repos.d/rtems-4.10.repo, just use rtems.org not
the mirrorlist.

baseurl=http://www.rtems.org/ftp/pub/rtems/linux/4.10/fedora/$releasever/$basearch
#mirrorlist=http://www.rtems.org/ftp/pub/rtems/linux/4.10/fedora/$releasever/mirrorlist
"
 
The fix worked for me. I hope this helps your situation. I'm posting it because it appears it may be related.
 
Regards,
Darren

This time, as I kept using "find" to try to locate where "yum update" was putting the files, and I kept going back into the other window, typing ^C, and re-starting the "yum update" every 20 seconds or so. I eventually got all the updates downloaded before I found out where the files were being put, and then everything installed cleanly. I probably left 100 half-finished downloads running at the update site, slowing it down even more.
