    I've been working on a program to manage the lists of repositories, and
    the associated mirror servers in /etc/yum.conf. I call it yummir. It
    polls a server for information on repositories and their mirrors, and
    then uses that information to place into /etc/yum.conf.

    For example, to update yum.conf with the latest set of mirrors:

       yummir update

    Or, to add the macromedia flash repository do:

       yummir add macromedia

    Currently, I'm only publishing repository information for Fedora. I'm
    managing the list manually, and will shortly be working on tools that
    automatically find out if a mirror is up to date and publishes new lists
    based on that. Only a Fedora ix86 repository list is available, but it
    should be easy to publish more information.

    Please check it out and let me know what you think.

    It's available at:

    Thanks,
    Sean
