We found a number of issues in 2.9.7 and I think we've dealt with most of them - so here is a 2.9.8 - please test and let us know what's not working. Right now I know that yum -c http://path/to/config/file won't work - it'll be worked on shortly Tarball: http://linux.duke.edu/yum/download/2.9/yum-2.9.8.tar.gz SRPM: http://linux.duke.edu/yum/download/2.9/yum-2.9.8-1.src.rpm Changelog: http://devel.linux.duke.edu/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/yum/ChangeLog?revision=1.71&view=markup thanks, -sv
