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

[Bastiaan Bakker]

Hi,

Yum allows one to use the same repository definition for multiple versions and architectures of a distribution with help of $releasever, $basearch, etc. However, it currently lacks a way to reuse the same definition across distributions. 
Attached is a small patch that introduces a config option 'distroname' and a variable $distroname to yum's config. By default $distroname will contain 'fedora' (to align with distroverpkg), but it can be modified with option 'distroname'. 

Cheers,

Bastiaan Bakker
