<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So if I understand correctly, centos-yumconf is a
package that allows us to always have an updated version of CentOS ? Let's say
that there is a new U4 update coming or a CentOS 4 version, this yumconf package
would update our system to the latest version available, is that correct
?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Else, I didn't really understand the goal of the
centos-yumconf package, if anybody could tell me that would be nice. I have read
that it helps you to keep up to date, but if it overwrites the old yum.conf then
we also loose our specific mirror settings. Or does it look into the
yum.conf and change the necessary lines to reflect the new versions ? Also, I
thought that this was the job of the $releasever variable and that we wouldn't
have to change yum.conf afterwards.. I'm obviously a bit confused..</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks for any help on that.</FONT></DIV>
