I have a local NFS and HTTP mirror of rawhide (rsync from kernel.org) that I use on my test i686 box for installs and updates. Lately I am seeing an unusual behaviour with respect to using the local mirror in conjunction with the "standard" mirrorlist configuration. In "fedora-rawhide.repo" I install the local mirror as a "file://" entry and leave mirrorlist enabled. (The mirror is uptodate and properly mounted via NFS to the machine in question.) The "Update System" process uses the local mirror to get headers and resolve dependencies (evidence: no activity on the internet connection via a router/switch during that phase of update process) However, after dependency resolution, the system goes to the internet to download the packages and seems to ignore the local repo. (Evidence: it takes time to download each file and the internet gateway is showing appropriate activity for each file downloaded.) If I disable the "mirrorlist" in an attempt to force all local activity, the system gives up on loading filelist2.sqlite.bz2 and reports no more mirrors available for several files that *are* on the local repository. This is new behaviour in rawhide, as the local F9 repository works fine without going to the internet. Also, rawhide installs from the local repo also work fine without going to the internet, it is only the update process with PackageKit that forces internet traffic. pure Yum transactions for single packages do not seem to seek on the internet (e.g. yum install yum-fastestmirror uses the local repo.) 1) can anyone shed light on why it requires the internet mirrors? 2) should I file a BZ against yum or PackageKit? -- G.Wolfe Woodbury -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
