Once installed, the next step was to pull all the updates. Or, well, you know, try.
$ sudo yum update
Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository:
Uh.
Getting past this took time. I tried a bunch o' stuff recommended by the experts of the interwebs. I turned off (just in case) SELinux.
I made sacrifices to a rubber chicken. I even read the documentation. Eventually, I found something that worked (sslverify=0 in /etc/yum.conf).
That the
distro has this problem out-of-the-box would seem like a bug.
However, I find I am now reluctant to figure out how to file a bug report,
since, as a member of the Fedora team, I might then be asked to help fix
it and I have no idea how to.
No good deed goes unpunished.
A: A man laughing his head off.
Kevin has now assured me that this sequence:
$ yum clean all$ yum update
would probably have done the trick. Next time.
