Description Will Woods 2008-05-12 18:41:31 UTC

When you modify a repo with PackageKit (by using gpk-repo, for instance), it
interpolates all of the yum config variables ($releasever, $basearch, etc) in
the repo file. This isn't a good idea and can lead to some subtle and nasty repo
problems. 

An example: if you have a repo with a URL like:
  http://some.repo.tld/pub/fedora/releases/$releasever/$basearch/
If you disable it while $releasever is 8.92, the URL will be rewritten as:
  http://some.repo.tld/pub/fedora/releases/8.92/i386/
If you then re-enable it once the release has been updated to 9, the repo will
still be unusable - releases/8.92/i386 still doesn't exist.

Comment 1 Bug Zapper 2008-05-14 11:03:05 UTC

Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA.
More information and reason for this action is here:

Comment 2 Richard Hughes 2008-05-20 08:11:33 UTC

All we do is:

repo = self.yumbase.repos.getRepo(repoid)
if enable == 'false':
    if repo.isEnabled():
        repo.disablePersistent()
else:
    if not repo.isEnabled():
        repo.enablePersistent()

So we don't parse the strings at all. Re-assigning to yum.

Comment 3 Tim Lauridsen 2008-06-02 18:42:44 UTC

I am testing a fix at the monent, to make repo.disablePersistent() and
repo.enablePersistent() work without merging all the yum config vars.
