That's just what makes yum so flexible and suitable... You make a reference to the release version from a variable that is read from the system's own relase version files... Have you seen the config files for yum??A good reason why the release version should not be hard -coded in the config files. For example the URL of the mirrors list found in yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo: mirrorlist=http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/updates-released-fc$releasever Note the reference to $releasever? This WILL change as soon as you upgrade to FC4 accordingly. If read FC3 in there, you'd be trouble, but fortunately it does not. |
