Hi
I was trying to find if someone reported a litle, very litle, bug in yum.conf file
but I could not see how to make a search in centos bugzilla page :-(
If you click the "View Issues" menu item you can search. At the top of the screen are filters that you can set (and save) for your logged in user.
the litle bug is, probabily reported, that distropkg is set to redhat-release insted to centos-release, like this: distroverpkg=centos-release
Not sure if that is a bug, as centos-release provides redhat-release and it will work either way.
In fact, having it work with redhat-release facilitates installing centos-release on redhat (or other clones who also provide redhat-release) machines to allow for upgrade.much easier ... so this is not so much a bug as a feature.
BTW, I am exploring centos5-x86_64 :-) I forgot to mention it in my previous mail
also, it would be nice if anaconda fail more polite when it can't find 'groups definitions' in the repos files, right now it just make a break with a "send a bug report" messages and abort instalation.
That is an upstream problem, though anaconda is a heavily modified package, so it might be possible. (Though, every mod we make takes us farther from the known and tested codebase. This means we stand a chance of introducing our own bugs ... something we do not want to do).
I know that should not happen but .... sometime do :-)
I notice that when I try to make an instalation via http but creating the repos with creatrepo command in centos-4.4 (not using the dvd iso, just copying the rpms and creating the repo), I forgot to create the groups, so the instalations fail over and over againg until I realize what was the problem, sadly I had to go over and over again through all initial steps
I know that is not a bug, just a RFE but ...
thanks roger
