Synopsis:	yum-conf - legacy mode changes
Issue date:	2007-12-13

yum-conf changes are needed for the transition of SL 3 into legacy mode.

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
