Description Neal Gompa 2016-07-07 19:28:36 CEST

Description of problem:
The installer lets users configure which repositories are to be enabled on the installed system. Currently, this only configures urpmi's configuration.

The installer should synchronize the user's choices for urpmi with the repository enabled settings in /etc/yum.repos.d so that urpmi and PackageKit/DNF are set to match. It should set the defaults appropriately for live installs, too.

The *.repo files are structured as INI files, in which the repo ID (of which there may be multiple ones per file) is used as sections. In those sections, there's an "enabled" key, either set with a value of "0" or "1". These need to be set to match whatever the user sets or whatever the appropriate default should be (in the case of live installs).

The repo IDs (indicating the section) in which the "enabled=0" / "enabled=1" settings need to be configured on x86 systems are:
backports-i586
backports-i586-nonfree
backports-i586-tainted
backports-x86_64
backports-x86_64-nonfree
backports-x86_64-tainted
backports_testing-i586

Yeah, this is still an issue.

Hi,
This is High priority bug for a good reason.

Making Mageia even better than ever is best direction.
In order to do right thing, this bug should be examined and fixed as soon as possible.

Packagers, please make the status to Assigned when you are working on this.
Feel free to reassign the bug if bad-triaged. Also, if bug is old, please close it.

On October 1st 2020, we will drop priority to normal.

Comment 4 Morgan Leijström 2021-02-02 11:20:14 CET

As long as we dont push DNF as working out of the box this cant be that high severity.

Should we add something to https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Using_DNF ?
