    Not sure what you want to change in the repository files. The above
    guide has bits and pieces about the yum configuration files. If you
    prefer a GUI, use yumex or kyum from the extras repository

    #yum install yumex kyum

    Here is more details.

    Previous versions of yum had a single configuration in /etc/yum.conf
    where all the repositories and yum configuration options were stored.
    This was determined to be tedious to manage for users and it was hard
    for new repositories to be added by packages. Now the main configuration
    in in /etc/yum.conf and the repositories are in /etc/yum.repos.d. Each
    of the repository files end with the extension ".repo" and are generally
    named after the repository information they hold. The extras repository
    is available for FC3 and FC4. For FC4, it is enabled by default and
    the information is in the file /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-extras.repo.

    More information about Fedora Extras is available from
    http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/release-notes/fc4/#id2502937
