Description of problem: Installed a custom yum repository. My YUM line in rhn/sources is yum dw-noarch https://yum.URL.net/redhat/$releasever/noarch yum dw-$basearch https://yum.URL.net/redhat/$releasever/$basearch My RHEL 4 boxes (U3 & U4) are reporting their releasever as "3" and not "4" In /usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/sourcesConfig.py a search for releasever turns up releasever = up2dateUtils.getVersion() #FIXME: releasever = "3" It would apear you guys have elected to hard code the release version, and this has not gotten fixed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): up2date-4.4.69-25.i386 Actual results: Fetching Obsoletes list for channel: dw-noarch... Fetching obsoletes list for https://yum.URL.net/redhat/3/noarch... ############# Fetching Obsoletes list for channel: dw-i386... Fetching obsoletes list for https://yum.URL.net/redhat/3/i386... Expected results: https://yum.URL.net/redhat/4/i386...
Can I change that hard-coded releasever in the sourcesConfig.py to "4" without fracking everything else up?... or is this fix more complicated then that.
google shows me that this was opened at one point in time under: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=229847 but it doesn't seem to be accessible anymore?
