There is nothing to fix. I was referring to users wanting to upgrade to a different version which is not provided, e.g. a daily (=beta) yum. As I wrote previously the current design was itself user driven, and it is a common idiom to split packages or software into different components if they evolve with different speed. And given that atrpms is the only repo supporting other repos in its config files it is rather natural that the configuration files change more frequently than the binaries. > > http://dict.leo.org/?search=icky&searchLoc=0&relink=on&spellToler=standard§Hdr=on&tableBorder=1&cmpType=relaxed?=en > > > > is right, then that's not a nice thing to say :( > > icky == crappy, not pretty, ungraceful, unkind, stinky.
