Description Dan Callaghan 2017-05-23 00:21:11 UTC
It turns out that sometimes it is difficult to get a Fedora/EPEL mirror which is in a consistent state and reliably working.

The normal workaround for this is to use Mirrormanager's mirrorlist/metalink which lets librepo try multiple mirrors until it finds one that is not broken. However it's currently not possible to do that with rpmdeplint, since it always expects a specific URL for each repo.

Perhaps instead of:

    --repo=<name>,<baseurl>

it should also accept an option like:

    --repo=<name>,metalink=<url>
    --repo=<name>,mirrorlist=<url>

Or maybe it would be cleaner to add a new separate option:

    --repo-metalink=<name>,<url>
    --repo-mirrorlist=<name>,<url>
