Hi Karanbir: I suggest it's better to have releasever=4.3 work for the new mirrorlist, since releasever=4.3 is working with baseurl, i.e baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4.3/os/i386/

No ... 4 is better

4 is the releasever

4.3 should not be used by users ... when we upgrade later, 4 will then point to 4.4 ... and when we upgrade again 4 will point to 4.5, etc.

That is how the system is designed to work ... users point to 4 only

That is also how centos-release is setup ... to make $releasever be 4

It's better to be consistent that releasever=4.3 works with new mirrorlist, i.e. mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=4.3&arch=i386&repo=os

Thanks.
