The current format for these treeinfo files can be found here: http://release-engineering.github.io/productmd/treeinfo-1.0.html We need to make our distribution tree model more flexible and It is likely this is something we need cannot ask RCM to carefully document which bits are there just recreate for backwards compatibility us with RHEL 5. Furthermore, CentOS 7 doesn't seem to do what RHEL7 does an updated treeinfo since the version of Anaconda that uses the RHEL5 treeinfo file likely won't deal with its treeinfo file. that well, but it may be worth investigating.
