I have a vanilla machine (Ubuntu) and I just did apt-get install yum

However, the yum.cof has empty repos list. So, where can I get the most updated list of repository?

As mentioned here::

  • Ubuntu natively uses deb packages, not rpm. yum is for the redhat rpm variant.
  • yum is the package management tool on RHEL-derived distributions and Fedora, Ubuntu uses apt instead.

So using apt (see apt-get HowTo) remains the recommended package management.
