Runtimes are identified by name (org.fedoraproject.Platform) and not by URL (http://repo.fedoraproject.org/runtime/platform or whatever), so the runtimes do have to be configured somewhere. I would certainly expect that for the Fedora runtimes and also other well-known runtimes this configuration would ship as part of the Fedora repo and installation would occur seamlessly. Runtimes can be big - the draft Fedora 24 runtime is 200MB download/860MB installed - so perhaps there would be a prompt. - Owen -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
