Hi,

It seems to be a bug with the sl-release packaging of /etc/yum/var/slrelease.

# cat /etc/yum/var/slrelease
7x
# yum erase yum-conf-sl7x
...
# cat /etc/yum/var/slrelease
7x
# yum reinstall sl-release
...
# cat /etc/yum/var/slrelease
7x
# rm /etc/yum/var/slrelease
# yum reinstall sl-release
...
# cat /etc/yum/var/slrelease
7.1
# yum --releasever=7.2 update sl-release
...
# cat /etc/yum/var/slrelease
7.1
# rm /etc/yum/var/slrelease
# yum --releasever=7.2 reinstall sl-release
...
# cat /etc/yum/var/slrelease
7.2


It seems that slrelease does not overwrite the slrelease file at all.

Is this a known issue?  Or is it a feature?
