Some days ago, there was the discussion about the new centos-release package with merged in yum (and other) configuration files instead of separate yumconf as until 4.3.

I today tried using %trigger sections in the own package. After some testing I can say it looks good and seem to work fine (at least here).

The trigger basically just moves the repo files known to be installed by centos-yumconf (and only those, so it has still to be adapted if CentOS e.g. adds more .repo files) to a different filename not used by yum.

On removal of the own yumconf package, that backed up files are moved back to it's original name.

The whole thing even seem to work over updates/removals/installs of both.

Maybe that's also useful for others having that problem, but of course needs some adaption.

Kind regards
