Hello,
I know I promised that Scientific Linux 3 would transition into legacy mode on
December 1. I'm a little late on that promise.
I have the new yum-conf for each of the distributions ready. They are
currently in the testing area, so that people can test them if they want. If
there are no major objections, or bugs found, I will push these out to their
respective distributions on thursday December 13.
Changes from the old yum-conf
* The files /etc/yum.conf and /etc/cron.daily/yum.cron are not marked as
"noreplace". This means that if you have modified /etc/yum.conf or
/etc/cron.daily/yum.cron, your version will be saved as *.rpmsave and the new
version will be put in it's place.
* All the /etc/yum.conf.* files have been removed except yum.conf.309,
yum.conf.30x, and yum.conf.flash
* The yum.conf entries are pointing at /linux/scientific/obsolete/30*, except
for the errata area of /linux/scientific/309/ .
* The yum.cron (/etc/cron.daily/yum.cron) is the yum.cron from yum-conf-309.
It does not point to 309, but has the following changes.
- The yum.cron uses your /etc/yum.conf. If your /etc/yum.conf has an
excludes line already in it, it adds the entries in
/etc/yum.d/yum.cron.excludes. If your /etc/yum.conf does not have an excludes
line, it adds one, with the entries from /etc/yum.cron.excludes
- It does not use /etc/yum.d/yum.cron.primary or
/etc/yum.d/yum.cron.secondary. You need to put the list of yum repositories
you want yum to go to in /etc/yum.conf
If you want to test, or simply get a head start,
