Good if you don't, but if you wanted to, say, also use the RPMForge repositories, their package installs new .repo files into /etc/yum.repos.d. I'd imagine that most yumconf packages would do the same, as /etc/yum.repos.d is the standard location for those packages.

That is true, but because all our machines use a common config from an include=, I add the rpmforge manually to the master yum.conf (on our web server) and that takes care of it. As I said, it is a workaround, not a solution.

I still would like (at a minimum) to see the files put back into the yumconf package. Even better would be yumconf-centos which provides yumconf.

John.
