Sorry people talking past each other alert :)

What Karanbir is talking about is in the redhat-release, or
centos-release package. When you go to the dell, dag, etc
repositories, you get a dell-release, dag-release, livna-release etc
that contains the /etc/livna-release file and the stuff to stick in
/etc/yum.repos.d/ directory.

I hope that is a bit clearer.
