rpmfind is a tool I've come to appreciate highly, however,
it seems, in recent mnths rpmfind is becoming less usefull. More
timeouts on downloads, failure to change directories on server
(often), when ncftpget on the same address will get the file.
Out of date information:
`rpmfind --latest emacs' should now find the emacs-20.7 that is on
redhat updates. Instead it returns:
[209r]~ $ rpmfind --latest emacs
rpmFetchDistribList: failed to grab metadata server list
URI: http://www.redhat.com/RDF/resources/distribs/metadata.rdf
Resource emacs latest version already installed
In my case that is 20.5
Most recently I see this message often:
rpmFetchDistribList: failed to grab metadata server list
What does it mean?
