Description of problem: During the wizard installation, during package selection, we can select "Additional Fedora Software" as an additional repository. Althought, the mirrorlist provided is: http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=9&arch=i386 and it should be: http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=fedora-9&arch=i386 (missing the "fedora-" part) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Check the "Additional Fedora Software" 2. It will propose to enable network, OK. 3. After a short time, we get an error back. Actual results: """ Unable to read package metadata from repository. This may be due to a missing repodata directory. Please ensure that your repository has been correctly generated. Error getting reposiroty data for AdditionalFedoraSoftware, repository not found """ Expected results: Show me the packages... Additional info: ... so I can install the missing XFCE packages from the DVD.
Should I open a bug for not being able to change the link? It seems that once the error has shown up, even if I edit the link, I get the error back instantly (it won't try to connect again). So I needed to create a new repository with the correct link. Regards, Alex Conrad
Blargh. mdomsch -- is there any chance we can get mirrormanager to handle this url so that we don't have people continuing to hit this over the life of F9? :-/
Done. MirrorManager now has a redirect in place, so requests to 'repo=9' will be sent to 'repo=fedora-9' content. <RepositoryRedirect 91L fromRepo=u'9' toRepo=u'fedora-9'>
And we'll do something to fix things properly for F10
I've committed my stuff for using the /etc/yum.repos.d files to anaconda so this should be better in time for the first test release of F10.
