When I open the "Edit Repository" dialog for "Additional Fedora Software", and press OK, - it unnecessarily downloads stuff (I didn't make any changes in the dialog) - I get a warning that says: "Unable to find a group file for AdditionalFedoraSoftware. This will prevent manual selection of packages from the repository from working. Note the missing spaces in AddionalFedoraSoftware. Also, this warning should not happen at all for a repository which is already in the screen when I first enter it...
I've committed some stuff that should help us be a little smarter about downloading repo metadata. However, a few things to note: if you don't want it to try downloading new metadata, click Cancel instead of OK. On the other hand, this stuff should be cached so it shouldn't be pulling down new metadata, only checking to see if it needs to. The warning is most likely due to the fact that this is a test release and not a final release, so we can't get a valid mirrorlist for it.
Looks like this just needs a simple re-testing.
Still downloads new metadata in this instance, and does not attempt to download comps, resulting in the 'unable to find group file' message. 192.168.1.137 - - [14/Apr/2008:12:32:13 -0400] "GET /fedora/development/i386/os/repodata/repomd.xml HTTP/1.1" 200 2424 "-" "urlgrabber/3.0.0 yum/3.2.14" 192.168.1.137 - - [14/Apr/2008:12:32:13 -0400] "GET /fedora/development/i386/os/repodata/primary.sqlite.bz2 HTTP/1.1" 200 6411510 "-" "urlgrabber/3.0.0 yum/3.2.14" 192.168.1.137 - - [14/Apr/2008:12:32:17 -0400] "GET /fedora/development/i386/os/repodata/comps.xml.gz HTTP/1.1" 200 304708 "-" "urlgrabber/3.0.0 yum/3.2.14" ----------- clicked modify then OK on Additional Fedora Software ------------ 192.168.1.137 - - [14/Apr/2008:12:34:44 -0400] "GET /fedora/development/i386/os/repodata/repomd.xml HTTP/1.1" 200 2424 "-" "urlgrabber/3.0.0 yum/3.2.14" 192.168.1.137 - - [14/Apr/2008:12:34:44 -0400] "GET /fedora/development/i386/os/repodata/primary.sqlite.bz2 HTTP/1.1" 200 6411510 "-" "urlgrabber/3.0.0 yum/3.2.14"
I also really don't think that this is a blocker, since it's a use case that is basically a mis-use of the UI that causes some undesired results. Thoughts?
Mis-use of the ui ? I don't agree with that. But I'm fine with moving htis off the blocker list
Moving to F10 so we don't forget.
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This is worth a re-test since much more work has gone on in this area yet again for F10.
