Hello,

Has anyone ever had yum on Centos (5) stop expanding the $releasever
variable in the repo config?

I am being asked to fix one which has just started doing this,
supposedly without anyone having done anything to make it so (no, I
don't believe that). It's actually started requesting URLs with
"%24releasever" in them now, instead of "5".

Googling produces some very old bug reports that don't seem that
relevant.

Cheers,
Andy
