What it is, is that I've been using FC3 Test 3 and
have just updated that over the weeks - as an example:

This is my fedora.repo file: (includes a reference to
a local list file which I'm currently using fine)

[base]
name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Base
#baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/$releasever/$basearch/os/
#mirrorlist=http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/fedora-core-$releasever
mirrorlist=file:///etc/yum.repos.d/local-base
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

This is the fedora.repo.rpmnew file that was
automatically installed in the last update:

[base]
name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Base
#baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/$releasever/$basearch/os/
mirrorlist=http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/fedora-core-$releasever
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1

Now - I must stress that I can update ok with the
first file and everything's ok - my query was, just
why was this .rpmnew file installed during my last
update.

Thanks

Ted
