Fedora 9 hasn't updated in over a month...

I have been using Linux for a while, n' have never had a distribution not be able to find any updates for more than a month so I am a little bit concerned.

thanks for your help, it very well could be nothing

I've never really used fedora, but possibly you don't have the updates repository enabled?

I'm playing with repositorys now, i cant believe that i didn't check that before, but i am getting somewhere. I came accross a few errors, but i will figure out what i can then edit this post

Holysh!t mk, well i had dependancy issues with transcoder and vlc so i removed them, to be installed after update and ran a yum upgrade, how i have 1.5GB files to download lol

thanks for your help

Okay so there is still a problem, i only get updates if i want to upgrade to Fedora Core 10 alpha. and enablethe testing repositories.

thoughts?

Okay, you're probably doing it wrong (my advice was also wrong). Apparently you have to enable auto-updating. This page on the fedora documentation has all your answers.

Note: I have no experience with Fedora. At all. However, that's likely the right answer, and I found it just by googling.

i was unable to update through yum update
i had disabled automatic updates.

but when i ran update through gnome it worked with ~900 updates
so now i'm unsure why yum update did nothing.

I dissabled the rawhide repositories and the testing repositories, then uninstalled the xine-libs and xine related packages and libdvdcss, then ran an update. it went smoothly then i installed the programs which i had removed.

All is running fine now.

just thought i would give an update.


Seems as the main problems w/ updating fedora are related to the totem-xine and other media players dependency issues.
