I've been using SmartPM for some time on CentOS machines and in the SmartPM mailing list we have a conversation that's not hot but a bit
warm about whether we should add support for variable names in the Smart config file. It really come down to "That's the way Yum does it so
we should do it too" on one side to "not all decisions are smart ones" on the opposing side.
So I'm here to find out what the advantage of having a line like this
As apposed to having it like this.
and just update the file (/etc/yum.repos.d/repofile.repo) if the repository or the version/arch changes?
This isn't flame bait as I'm arguing the side of having variables but others have put up a really good defense on the "They're not necessary" side
of things.
So I'm asking how are these set and does YUM use them just because that's the way it's always done it or is there
a really strong case for them?
Thanks,
Grant
