Description James Antill 2011-02-22 15:18:14 UTC 
Description of problem:
 Currently the F13 repo. name for an anaconda install is:

anaconda-InstallationRepo-201005130101.x86_64

...which is "big". Esp. when we output it in yum, would it be possible to shorten this to something like:

Inst-20100513.x86_64
Comment 1 Chris Lumens 2011-02-22 16:26:37 UTC 
What's the length limit you're retrying to stay under?
Comment 2 James Antill 2011-02-23 14:58:21 UTC 
So if I run:

http://james.fedorapeople.org/yum/commands/length_distributions.py

...on "installed" then my NEVRA length tails off around 40 characters, add the two space characters and the '@' gives you get an absolute maximum of 37 characters for a _mostly_ non-overflowing repoid (on an 80 char. wide terminal).
 But given there are still 21 installed pkgs with a length of 48, every character helps ... 20-25 characters seems reasonable, to me, but I might be an idiot :).
Comment 3 Chris Lumens 2011-02-23 15:47:56 UTC 
Wait, do we even still copy repo config files to /etc/yum.repos.d on the installed system at the end of installation post-F13?  I don't think we do, which means you shouldn't be seeing anaconda-* repos.

No, this is yumdb data. Eg.

% sudo yum ls yum zsh
