Well, we need to get packages ready for FC3 for us to provide to the end

distribution.  Using $releasever and $basearch variables in our repo
file means we can supply one repo file that will work across releases.
No need to have different ones.

Since we'll have two packages (one we provide for FC3 and FC4, and the
one that will go into Fedora Core), the one we provide we can enable by
default.  The user grabbing the package and installing it seems to be
choice enough in my mind.  However the package that goes into core
should have the repo itself disabled.


OK, here's a SRPM for FC3 - input is welcome.
http://www.cs.ucsb.edu/~jeff/legacy/legacy-yumconf-3-1.fc3.src.rpm
The spec file is here:
http://www.cs.ucsb.edu/~jeff/legacy/legacy-yumconf.spec

Notice there are separate repo files for base, updates, updates- testing and utils. I think this goes better with the new yum.repos.d format than having only one repo file. Also, both base and updates are enabled, testing and utils are not enabled by default. I think this is a sane and safe default, but I'm open to suggestions.

When building for FC5, we'll need to disable all repos by default. I will proceed with that package once we all (or most) agree on this one :)
