Description Ales Kozumplik 2013-04-05 12:48:10 UTC

Lines like this in the repo:

mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-$releasever&arch=$basearch

only work because yum searches the URL for the 'metalink?' string. This behaviour makes processing the config files and setting up repositories quite complex. Let's start making this right by fixing the repo files, e.g. to something like:

metalink=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-$releasever&arch=$basearch

Comment 1 Dennis Gilmore 2013-07-08 16:32:16 UTC

Just committed a build changing mirrorlist to metalink in rawhide

Comment 2 Ales Kozumplik 2013-09-16 10:55:53 UTC

Commit f19fc52 addresses this change in DNF (i.e. simplifies the repo configuration code).

Comment 3 Tomas Mlcoch 2013-09-17 12:28:38 UTC

Librepo, since 636e7ef, consider LRO_MIRRORLIST (the option that accepts mirrorlist url as well as metalink url) as s deprecated option and brings LRO_MIRRORLISTURL and LRO_METALINKURL instead.
