I need to do some testing with 5.3 as its suggested that 5.4 has "some bugs in the toolchain and libc". That being the case, I can install with a url and repo line pointing to a mirror with 5.3 still but how does one properly make sure during subsequent uses of yum it doesn't attempt to use 5.4 rpms?
Is it simple enough to just manually set '$releasever' to 5.3 in the repo file or do I need to do anything else?
What actually happens to the 5.3 repo so that `yum update` actually switches repo's when one is available?
Thanks! jlc
