Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: fedora.

在Fedora里执行：

$sudo yum update
Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit
Adding en_US to language list
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: fedora. Please verify its path and try again

会出现上面的问题是因为：
从Fedroa21开始，http://mirrors.xxx.com/fedora/releases里面出现了一个README文件提示：

ATTENTION

按照这个提示需要将系统默认的repo修改为：

$vi sudo vi /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo

[fedora]
name=Fedora $releasever - $basearch
failovermethod=priority
baseurl=http://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora/linux/releases/$releasever/Everything/$basearch/os/

然后执行：

$sudo yum clean all

$sudo yum makecache
