Description Levente Farkas 2012-10-10 10:12:11 UTC

if i like to setup yum case in the same way as in rhel6 ie:
cachedir=/var/cache/yum/$basearch/$releasever
then it's not working ie. the directory will be called as 
/var/cache/yum/$basearch/$releasever
in stead of 
/var/cache/yum/5/i386

 Yeh, the RHEL-5 version of yum doesn't interpret the cachedir config. option. It's unlikely to be added as an RFE to RHEL-5 at this point, without a strong reason behind it.
