$releasever comes from the file /etc/redhat-release (which is symlinked
to /etc/fedora-release)
$basearch comes from /bin/uname

&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Can I use ftp.ale.org as a repository in my yum.conf?
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; In other words, can I modify my yum.conf to add the line:
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; <a  rel="nofollow" href="ftp://ftp.ale.org/mirrors/fedora/linux/core/updates/$releasever/$basearch/";>ftp://ftp.ale.org/mirrors/fedora/linux/core/updates/$releasever/$basearch/</a>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; to the [updates-released] section?
&gt; &gt; &gt; Yes.
&gt; &gt; &gt; 
&gt; &gt; &gt; I sync the updates 4 times a day and the root tree twice a day from the 
&gt; &gt; &gt; official redhat servers.
&gt; &gt; &gt; 
&gt; &gt; &gt; I think all you really need to do is change the server name because I 
&gt; &gt; &gt; replicated the directory path from the root with symlinks.
