Fixed up for rawhide |
Description of problem: yum.conf(5) states: $releasever This will be replaced with the value of the version of the pack- age listed in distroverpkg. This defaults to the version of ‘redhat-release’ package. Here yum.conf says: distroverpkg=redhat-release And there isn't such a package. Plus the yum.repos.d/fedora-core.repo contains uses of $releasever, which seems to map to "development" (is there any way to find out what the variable values are?) for rawhide, judging from the layout at <http://download.fedora.redhat.com> All this just doesn't add up. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-3.0.1-6.fc7 How reproducible: Has been this way for quite some time... Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try to make sense out of the documentation ;-) 2. 3. Actual results: Utter confusion Expected results: Some enlightenment... Additional info:
