[Yum-devel] [PATCH] add variable $distroname to config (updated)

[Bastiaan Bakker]

Hi,

Included is an updated version of a small patch I originally submitted in May. It adds a config option 'distroname' and a variable $distroname to yum's config. By default $distroname will contain 'fedora' (to align with distroverpkg), but that can be modified with the option. Primary purpose of this is to allow identical repo definitions to be used across multiple distro's.
Please let me know whether this patch or a similar one is acceptable for merging.

Cheers,
