Yum Does Not Update Package List
Hello. I have been trying to add rpmforge as a repository, but yum does not seem to be updating the package lists. I tried
$ yum check-updates
[…]
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
* base:
* epel:
* extras:
* rpmforge: mirror.ate.info
* updates:
and searched for any package available there, like i3 and mpv. It is still like the repository was never added. I imported the GPG key mentioned in the wiki, and installed
I am using CentOS 7.

rpmforge is a dead repo, no longer maintained, I would not use for anything anymore.
I usually add EPEL without so much as a second thought, but any other repos I’m pretty selective about. See https://wiki.CentOS.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories for a good summary of the other repos.
rpmforge was renamed to repoforge, although they continued using the name rpmforge on the repos for some reason. I use it on a few of my servers.
Poking around in the package lists, I can’t find any that have been updated since July 2014. Is repoforge now unmaintained?
