Re: [CentOS-devel] CentOS-4.4 yumconf

In SME Server land we use centos-release unmodified and provide our own smeserver-release. We also have an smeserver-yum package which does this:

Provides: yumconf Conflicts: centos-yumconf

so that the CentOS repo files don't get installed at all.

So, the change in this thread will bite us. It's a moot point in our case as we are planning to re-enable the CentOS base and updates repos in our next release, but I would support keeping the packages separate.

How about building [centos-]yumconf from the centos-release SPEC file?
