[users] missing /etc/sysconfig/mrepo

[Rainer Traut]

Hi,

seems latest mrepo-0.8.7-1.el5.rf has its own init script now...
But then rpm is missing /etc/sysconfig/mrepo.

What should be the contents? Something like when mrepo should look for
updates?

Thx
Rainer

Hi Rainer,

A sysconfig config file is always used to override shell variables that
influence the initscript. In this case there is only one variable that can
be defined: the mrepo config-file.

I just looked at the initscript and noticed that unfortunately this
variable is called YAMCONFIG, a relic from the days mrepo was called yam.

So I will fix this in subversion for a future release. But you can
override the default location of the mrepo configuration file (which is
/etc/mrepo.conf).

But that file is not required for the initscript to work, so if you are
not changing the location of the mrepo.conf file, there is no need to
create the sysconfig entry.
