For some reason it was still there even though this package is obsolete, probably the ia64 portion isn't that up to date. I imported the GPG key while using "yum upgrade" - I was asked when it installed the first RPM. Everything still works well (RHEL4 ES Update 2 -> CentOS 4.5) - I even fixed the bugs I hoped (SCSI driver related). I ran it yesterday as well, I used
centos-release-4-4.4.x86_64.rpm
yum-2.4.3-3.el4.centos.noarch.rpm
python-elementtree-1.2.6-5.el4.centos.x86_64.rpm
python-sqlite-1.1.7-1.2.1.x86_64.rpm
python-urlgrabber-2.9.8-2.noarch.rpm
sqlite-3.3.6-2.x86_64.rpm

and I used
centos-yumconf-4-4.5.noarch.rpm

So: svn propset svn:keywords “Author Date Id Revision HeadURL” should be: svn propset svn:keywords 'Author Date Id Revision HeadURL' otherwise, the shell will treat the keywords as file names.

It seems they have deprecated the centos-yumconf package. I’ve had the same experience recently. It seems they have deprecated the centos-yumconf package.

I skipped the centos-yumconf package, however, since I was unable to find it on the CentOS mirrors (is it obsolete?). Nevertheless, the system seems to work well. No more "your system needs to be entitled for updates blah-blah" from RHN up2date. Thanks for sharing. Andreas -- I followed the procedure above and successfully converted my RHEL 4 system to CentOS.
