Description of problem: manually added aditional NFS repos are in /root/anaconda-ks.cfg mentioned as: repo --name="REPONAME" --baseurl=file:///mnt/REPONAMErandompart/ which is evidently bad. This bug was in previous Fedora releases as well, i think at least in F11 and F12. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-13.37.2-1.fc13.i686, Fedora 13 Rawhide released 20-Apr-2010 Expected results: nfs://<host>:<port><url-path> (according to RFC2224) is probably adequate syntax, but anything what provide reproducible solution may be sufficient. Additional info: I believe that system-config-kickstart for specified NFS repos produce some other, with anaconda too incompatible syntax. But I'm not sure how it is in Fedora 13 rawhide, and even this should be another bugreport.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 14 development cycle. Changing version to '14'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This should be fixed in anaconda-14.14-1.
anaconda-14.14-1.fc14 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 14. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/anaconda-14.14-1.fc14
anaconda-14.14-1.fc14 has been pushed to the Fedora 14 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. If you want to test the update, you can install it with su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update anaconda'. You can provide feedback for this update here: http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/anaconda-14.14-1.fc14
because it is installer, i will wait when released on an bootable media.
I test it on final F14 (anaconda 14.22). Additional NFS repos are now in ks file in format: repo --name="RepoName" --baseurl=nfs::ser.ver.cz:/Path/To/Repo --cost=1000 which may be OK. But there is still some minor problem: When I make kickstart file which contain this additional NFS repos, then anaconda not properly analyze them and display "Error" window with text: " Unable to read package metadata. This may be due to a missing repodata directory. Please ensure that your install tree has been correctly generated. Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository RepoName. Please verify its path and try again. Exit installer/Edit/Retry/Continue " When click to Edit button, window for repo specification appears with all items RIGHTLY filled from repo spec in kickstart file. Thus is enought just to click to OK button, and anaconda without problem fetch repo and continue. I'm not sure, what is adequate - leave this issue in this thread, or fill new bug report - can You suggest?
Same problem as described in Comment 6 still insists in F15 and F16, thus I picked version to F16.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '16'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
Same problem as described in Comment 6 still insists in F17, thus I picked version to F17. But will be better - unusable F18 installer solve this with its own virtuosity - isn't possible specify additional repo ever.
