The following page has been changed by PaulFrields:

The comment on the change is:
Editorial pass

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
  The `yum` command now understands a cost parameter in its configuration file, which is the relative cost of accessing a software repository.  It is useful for weighing one software repository's packages as greater or less than any other. The cost parameter defaults to 1000, with lower costs given priority.
  
- In Fedora 9 Rawhide, the `/etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-development.repo` file has been changed to `/etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-rawhide.repo`. References to `development` in `fedora-rawhide.repo` have been changed to `rawhide`. Due to how RPM deals with configuration files, the existing (if modified) `/etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-development.repo` file is saved as `/etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-development.repo.rpmsave`. Users of the `development` repository need to be aware of this name change, so that you can update scripts, custom configuration files, and so on, to use the new name.

  === pam_mount ===
  The `pam_mount` facility now uses a configuration file written in XML.  The `/etc/security/pam_mount.conf` file will be converted to `/etc/security/pam_mount.conf.xml` during update with `/usr/bin/convert_pam_mount_conf.pl`, which removes all comments. Any per-user configuration files must be converted manually, with the conversion script if desired.  A sample `pam_mount.conf.xml` file with detailed comments about the available options appears at `/usr/share/doc/pam_mount-*/pam_mount.conf.xml`.
