Subject: Re: F25 System Wide Change: Use /etc/distro.repos.d as default
reposdir
I have yet to see the arguments why this really must be renamed. Of
course, there are better names than /etc/yum.repos.d. But does the
benefits of a better name really motivate the cost of change in this
case? Really?
In other words, as Mathieu Bridon pointed out, the "Benefit to Fedora"
part of the change just isn't very convincing.
I totally agree -- I too have yet to see why it should be renamed at all. My point was merely that, if for some reason this does go forward (justified or not), it would be disappointing if this were to break the efforts of vendors that have been trying to cooperate in a reasonable manner.
The proposal has been revised to preserve compatibility with
/etc/yum.repos.d while supporting the new default directory.
Which is nice. However, the main point is that to motivate all the
obvious hassles related to the directory renaming a better "Benefit for
Fedora" section is needed - IMHO the current one just doesn't motivate
this change, the cons outweighs the pros.
Cheers!
