if the files are (config) type, then a locally user modified version will superseed the new rpm based one, and will result in your config's being left alone with the new files being dropped as .rpmnew
I'd presume this is what happened ?
The problem is an rpm issue where if you delete a config file, it will 'come back' when an update is installed.
The purpose of this change is so that we mirror what is done by upstream.
what's 'the upstream' in this case?
You mean where fedora is putting it?
not specific to yum configs, but just config files for updates in general. rhn sources file, yum config, etc.
In RHEL , the RHN files are included in redhat-release. _______________________________________________
Sorry ... I did also mean to say that Fedora Core does do the same thing with their yum.repos.d conf files too ... they are in fedora-release.
