How do I get yum to see updates to a local repo without cleaning cache?

Solution 1:

You can run "yum clean expire-cache" which is much more efficient way to tell yum to check the repos. ... the other thing to do would be to change the metadata_expire value for the local repo. (see man yum.conf).

Solution 2:

Try adding following line in /etc/yum.conf on Yum clients:

metadata_expire=1m

Following command shows you more info:

man yum.conf

FYI. CentOS 5 has the parameter commented out. CentOS 6.2 has 90m for the value.
