Hello, as a Fedora user, who doesn't consume any modules, I'd like an easy way
to disable modular repos to save some traffic (both for myself and on the mirrors).
Disclaimer: I do not propose to change any defaults, just the delivery mechanism.
Currently, I can do it by editing all /etc/yum.repos.d/*-modular.repo and changing:
enabled=1
To:
enabled=0
This has downsides: When the files are changed in next update, I won't get them
updated, because they are shipped as %config(noreplace). (If they were not
shipped as %config(noreplace), it would be even worse, as my changes would be
overridden.)
Side note: It would be great if DNF supported system-repos in /usr/share and
override options in /etc, but that is not (yet) the case.
In order to not to have to resort to manually editing RPM-package shipped
configuration, I'd like to have a better way of disabling modular repos, namely
via: sudo dnf remove fedora-repos-modular.
Can we please have modular repos in separate package again?
Basically revert this plus some extra comps/kickstarts changes:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/fedora-repos/c/7b32bee388d093c446017f1e33309d9b96b24e15
Constraint: modular repos are still installed and enabled by default (e.g. when
we ship nonmodular repos in kickstarts/comps, we also ship modular).
(Nonmodular repos package could possibly recommend modular repos package,
although I am not so happy about that, due to rhbz#1699672.)
What do you think?
