Folks, Wanted to submit the following patch. In our work to make Yum work on Solaris to manage RPM packages we discovered that things pretty much just worked. Some custom stuff was done like our python is in a different place. The following patch is one of the few that we have applied. It adds a few more variables that you can use in the yum.conf file from informaion in os.uname.
