The "disto" name is horrible. Many repositories are third party or local. Unless you want to start supporeting "/etc/distro.repos.d", "/etc/local.repos.d", and "/etc/vendor.repos.d" to all run together, then distro is the wrong name for it. And splitting up the yum/dnf configs to separate directories would be begging for pain. This change is also likely to break almost every third party repository management tool in existence unless "/etc/yum.repos.d" and "/etc/[myunemployedscriptkiddienewrepotool].d/" are forced into identical behavior, probably by a symlink. This includes epel-release, rpmforge-release, the apache-community-mysql repositories, etc., etc., etc. Would the new name remove one line of existing code or make anything faster or more stable? I think not. It's an esthetic change with no actual performance benefit. Even dropping in a symlink to /etc/yum.repos.d is as potentially confusing as the "/etc/{init.d,rc0,d,rc1,d,etc}" symlinks to "/etc/rc.d/{init.d,rc0.d,rc1,d,etc}." for SysV init scirpt locations was. And it would encourage the sort of randomization of default path to the .repo files that we saw for SysV init scripts, which could get pretty confusing. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
