OK, today 'dnf repolist -v' tells me: fedora: using metadata from Wed Jul 22 08:38:59 2015. rmy: using metadata from Wed Jul 22 08:38:59 2015. updates: using metadata from Wed Jul 22 08:54:38 2015. Last metadata expiration check performed 21:22:45 ago on Wed Jul 22 08:54:38 2015. Repo-id : fedora Repo-updated : Sat May 23 11:23:20 2015 Repo-expire : 172,800 second(s) (last: Wed Jul 22 08:38:59 2015) Repo-id : rmy Repo-updated : Sat Jun 20 19:40:40 2015 Repo-expire : 172,800 second(s) (last: Wed Jul 22 08:38:59 2015) Repo-id : updates Repo-updated : Tue Jul 21 06:47:56 2015 Repo-expire : 21,600 second(s) (last: Wed Jul 22 08:54:38 2015) The fedora and rmy repos both have the default metadata_expire of 48 hours; updates has 6 hours, as configured in fedora-updates.repo. fedora and rmy are still within their metadata_expire timeout; updates has expired. Running the same commands as yesterday: [root@vulcan rmyf22]# dnf check-update Last metadata expiration check performed 0:00:00 ago on Thu Jul 23 06:19:10 2015. [root@vulcan rmyf22]# dnf --refresh check-update Fedora 22 - x86_64 - RMY repository 78 kB/s | 6.0 kB 00:00 Last metadata expiration check performed 0:00:00 ago on Thu Jul 23 06:20:06 2015. [root@vulcan rmyf22]# rm -rf /var/cache/dnf/x86_64/22/updates* [root@vulcan rmyf22]# dnf check-update Fedora 22 - x86_64 - Updates 946 kB/s | 12 MB 00:13 Last metadata expiration check performed 0:00:11 ago on Thu Jul 23 06:23:32 2015. [root@vulcan rmyf22]# What immediately seems odd is that 'dnf --refresh check-update' pulled in a new version of the rmy metadata (which hasn't expired) but not the updates metadata (which has). Forcibly removing the updates metadata causes a download but I get the same version as yesterday (the one from Jul 21 06:47:56 2015) so there are no new updates. Actually, every time I run 'dnf --refresh check-update' the metadata for the rmy repo is downloaded. Maybe that's because the rmy repo has an 'ftp://' URL so dnf can't use an 'if-modified-since' request to see if it's changed. I wonder if that's confusing 'dnf --refresh'?
