dnf reposync lists repo as wrong argument
Last modified: 2016-07-21 10:37:02 EDT
Description of problem: reposync help lists --repo as argument for the repository id, but this generates an error "Befehlszeilenfehler: argument --repofrompath: bad format: f22-updates" If --repoid is used as argument the reposync works. So I guess it's an error in the reposync help output. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dnf-plugins-core-0.1.10-1.fc22.noarch How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. dnf reposync -p fedora --repo /mnt/somewhere Actual results: error about bad format of argument Expected results: download of repo to /mnt/somewhere
This is a know issue, unfortunately. Actually, the cause is the introduction of the --repofrompath option and the problematic design of our argument parser. We are currently working on improving the argument parsing part. FTR, the issue was first reported here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1193851#c7 I don't know how to handle this situation. I mean whether to close this as a duplicate or track the issue here.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
--repo parameter still does not work :/
It likely won't until DNF2 arrives - just anecdotally it seems like that's the direction the project went as I observed most bugs in Github had a similar reply from the authors. So I think they're not bothering to fix menial bugs like this in favor of the complete DNF2 rewrite. Granted, I agree with keeping actual bugs open, since it's still broken.
Fixed as part of DNF 2.0 which will be available at some point soon.
