Just a quick double check – I take it that all yum attempted installs  
will also be failing at the moment? Having re-flashed my XO last night  
I was trying to pull in some additional system monitoring tools for  
tests. Yom gives the error:

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/static-repos/dist-olpc3-build-current/i386/repodata/repomd.xml 
: [Errno 12] Timeout: <urlopen error timed out>
Trying other mirror.
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for  
repository: olpc_development. Please verify its path and try again
