So yum doesn't care anymore about yum.conf and only uses /etc/yum.repo.d/*.repo files?
It still uses yum.conf.
Does it look at repositories listed in yum.conf , or does it just read it for settings?
But the .repo files simplifies things. Maintainers can now put together a -release package with their GPG key and all the .repo files, so you just install the -release package and go, rather than download and install the key and manually enter the repo info in a monolithic yum.conf. Freshrpms has already released a freshrpms-release package like this.
I didn't understand this. Could you just say exactly what commands you gave, and perhaps the content of one of your yum.repos.d files ?
