[Errno 14] FTP Error 550 - Server denied you to change

quick workaround is to use:
/etc/yum/vars/slreleasever # and value in it
This happened to me after I removed yum-conf-sl7x package
after updating
actually, the package you mention seems to does exactly it,
it puts /etc/yum/vars/slreleasever - so removing it would
have inverse effect
to RC1 (why? Well, that's how I interpreted release notes
http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/7.0/x86_64/release-notes/
- that I should remove that package to get proper updates
after RC
release).
well, the thing is I did not remove anything, I've been on
7roling and after yesterday's yum updates it broke.
It breaks like this after that, and one has to write
"7.0" into
/etc/yum/vars/slreleasever to fix it. Why release notes
say that we
might need to remove that package and break the system?
Not sure. Maybe
it's to remind people that this is beta/RC stuff which is
expected to
break and no one will care :)
