relatively short so I pasted it below.

# Example releases.list.
# The official version is here:
http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/releases.txt #
# This file contains a list of available Fedora releases.
# Format is as follows:
#
#[Release Name] 
#   - Header for this release. Typically: [Fedora X (Codename)]
#version=FLOAT 
#   - Required. Version number for this release.
#stable=BOOL 
#   - Optional. Marks a release as stable/final. Defaults to false. 
#preupgrade-ok=BOOL
#   - Optional. Marks a release as usable with preupgrade. Defaults to
false. #eol-date=YYYYMMDD
#   - Optional. Gives the date on which the release stops getting

#baseurl=URL
