Description Hedayat Vatankhah 2014-02-25 08:50:05 UTC

Description of problem:
I always create a repo file for Fedora DVD, and set its metadata_expire to -1 so that its metadata is never expired. "never" can be used instead of -1 too. However, dnf doesn't support -1/never and always tries to download the metadata for such a repository.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dnf-0.4.14-1.fc20.noarch

Comment 1 Ales Kozumplik 2014-02-26 15:36:28 UTC

Hello, the issue was fixed upstream in 4b27df0. The patch also includes update to 'metadata_expire' documentation. You can test the change once respective build appears on our continuous integration server:

http://jenkins.cloud.fedoraproject.org/job/DNF/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/

or with dnf-0.4.17 once released.

Thanks for the report.
