For DNF 2.0 in Fedora 25, the DNF team would like to make the default
repository configuration directory /etc/distro.repos.d. In contrast to
/etc/yum.repos.d (current default path), /etc/distro.repos.d path is a
package manager agnostic name and less misleading. The configuration
files are currently used by DNF, PackageKit, and Yum. The proposed
location more accurately reflects the nature of the repositories, and
also implies that other tools can look there for repository
information. Note: current default repository configuration directory
/etc/yum.repos.d will still be supported by package managers but
/etc/distro.repos.d would be preferred default path.
Shouldn't that be /usr/lib/distro.repos.d (for distribution-provided
data) with usual rules for overriding/masking in /etc/distro.repos.d (for
local administrator)?
Well equally isn't the "distro." prefix all wrong if it includes things
other than distribution provided repositories...
The split locations with overriding/masking would also only work if you
were allowed to add options to an existing repository using a new file
in the /etc location - for example I often use local mirrors and hence
want to disable the normal distro repos.
