Description Jay Dobies 2011-04-14 20:40:42 UTC
When encountering SSL issues, grinder simply says:

RepoError: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: . Please verify its path and try again

This is the same error message used for a number of different issues. We should try to provide more clues as to why it fails.
