Description Jiri Moskovcak 2013-11-14 10:05:11 UTC

Description of problem:
I wanted to install rpm available over http and dnf failed to open it, but if I call rpm directly it installed it without any problem.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dnf-0.3.11-3.git7bdc9e1.fc19.noarch

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
[10:46:13 root@localhost ~]$ dnf install http://ovirt.org/releases/ovirt-release-fedora.noarch.rpm
Setting up Install Process
Cannot open: http://ovirt.org/releases/ovirt-release-fedora.noarch.rpm. Skipping.
Error: Nothing to do
[10:46:18 root@localhost ~]$ rpm -ivh http://ovirt.org/releases/ovirt-release-fedora.noarch.rpm

Actual results:


Expected results:
dnf being abel to install the package from any url (ftp, http, ...)

Additional info:
There is a python library for opening files from urls http://docs.python.org/2/library/urllib.html, it should be able to handle both local and remote files.

Comment 1 Zdeněk Pavlas 2013-11-14 10:56:29 UTC

Surprisingly, it works in Yum.. but it's kind of hack.. Yum downloads the package to a temp dir first, and installed as if "yum localinstall" was invoked.

I think we can implements something similiar in dnf, too.

Implemented in: 6b656d7 Handle remote URLs. (RhBug:1030297)
