As others have mentioned I do not think that distro.repos.d is not really appropriate. I also suspect that the idea of putting them in /usr/lib/ somewhere and allowing local overriding py dropping snippets in /etc/ will be a lot fo work to yum adding new features that we probably do not want to do. rpm.repos.d may be the best name if we grow to support maven, npm, rubygems, etc repos they could use <packagemanager>.repos.d for consistency Dennis > > * Release engineering: N/A > List of deliverables: N/A (Not needed for this Change) > > * Policies and guidelines: > Packages containing repository configuration will need to change to > store repo files in /etc/distro.repos.d. > > * Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change) -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
