I have tested "include=" functionality again and it is definitely working here. I have tested includes with $releasever, $arch and $basearch. Are there any error messages reported by Yum or does it just not pick up the repository config that URL is supposed to return? Please post the complete Yum output for the when the include _doesn't_ work. Try using wget or similar to check that you are getting the repo config you expect from the include URL. Menno ps. You can pretty much ignore the "_add_include" lines. That is leftover debugging output that has now been removed.
