       As repo-rss uses YUM libraries for retrieving all the information,
       it relies on YUM configuration for its default values like which
       repositories to use. Consult YUM documentation for details:

       /etc/yum.conf
       /etc/yum/repos.d/
       /var/cache/yum/

       first consult the FAQ section on http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/Faq
