Created attachment 1644571 [details] a script that demonstrates the issue Description of problem: Even though I set `retries=15` and `skip_if_unavailable=False` for a repo, dnf seems to skip the repo after only 3 retries with no error given. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dnf-4.2.17-1.fc31.noarch dnf-4.2.5-5.fc29.noarch How reproducible: 100% so far Steps to Reproduce: script attached
The retries option works only for downloading packages. The documentation is lacking here, I'll adjust it. I don't think we support setting the number of retries for repository metadata files.
PR: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf/pull/1552
The documentation was updated. FTR if anyone would like us to implement adjusting the number of retries for repository metadata, I think it would be low on our priority list. The code for that is overly complex, so it wouldn't be trivial to implement and we have other priorities. The plan is to fix this part sometime in the future, when we can dedicate the time it's going to need.
