Description Alex CONRAD 2008-05-16 23:20:26 UTC

Description of problem:
During the wizard installation, during package selection, we can select
"Additional Fedora Software" as an additional repository. Althought, the
mirrorlist provided is:

  http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=9&arch=i386

and it should be:

  http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=fedora-9&arch=i386

(missing the "fedora-" part)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:

Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Check the "Additional Fedora Software"
2. It will propose to enable network, OK.
3. After a short time, we get an error back.
  
Actual results:

"""
Unable to read package metadata from repository. This may be due to a missing
repodata directory. Please ensure that your repository has been correctly generated.

Error getting reposiroty data for AdditionalFedoraSoftware, repository not found
"""

Expected results:

Show me the packages...

Additional info:

... so I can install the missing XFCE packages from the DVD.

Comment 1 Alex CONRAD 2008-05-17 00:04:46 UTC

Should I open a bug for not being able to change the link? It seems that once
the error has shown up, even if I edit the link, I get the error back instantly
(it won't try to connect again). So I needed to create a new repository with the
correct link.

Regards,
Alex Conrad

Blargh.  mdomsch -- is there any chance we can get mirrormanager to handle this
url so that we don't have people continuing to hit this over the life of F9? :-/

Comment 3 Matt Domsch 2008-05-19 20:00:00 UTC

Done.  MirrorManager now has a redirect in place, so requests to 'repo=9' will 
be sent to 'repo=fedora-9' content.

<RepositoryRedirect 91L fromRepo=u'9' toRepo=u'fedora-9'>

Comment 4 Jeremy Katz 2008-05-19 20:02:47 UTC

And we'll do something to fix things properly for F10

Comment 5 Chris Lumens 2008-05-30 19:01:04 UTC

I've committed my stuff for using the /etc/yum.repos.d files to anaconda so this
should be better in time for the first test release of F10.
