Hi,
I am curious whether we can move our repo files from
/etc/yum.repos.d
to
/etc/distro.repos.d
In Fedora 31 we are going to wipe away last left overs of YUM, so it really does not have sense to keep `yum.repos.d`.
DNF for ages parse config files from:
{"/etc/yum.repos.d", "/etc/yum/repos.d", "/etc/distro.repos.d"}
Therefore the move of repo files does not require any change in DNF. It should be just change in fedora-repos.
If anyone put his private repos to /etc/yum.repos.d then DNF will parse it too. From DNF point of view, the files can be
split randomly across all those directories.
Of course, that directory is mentioned everywhere in documentation and it will take ages to change it as it is written
everywhere. But the other option is to stuck with yum.repos.d forever.
Is there anything which can block this move?
Please don't, it's just pointless renaming that invalidates all end user
documentation and makes it harder for other programs such as packagekit
and gnome-software that all need to adopt for the new paths.
Also, I've heard rumours that dnf might get renamed back to yum in the
future.
