<div>I thought it shipped disabled by default, and you
explicitly had to enable if you wanted packages before the
next point release was fully released.<br>

<p>It should still exist. <br>
</p>
<p>I, and I presume like others, will often use "dnf --enablerepo=*
search hotness" to see if a package is hiding in a repo I keep
disabled by default. A missing repo breaks this process. As a
result I have the CR and Media repo files completely commented out
(if I remove the file it will simply be replaced by an update).
For those who want the same, try: <br>
</p>
<p>sed --in-place "s/^/# /g" /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Media.repo<br>
sed --in-place "s/# #/##/g" /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Media.repo<br>
sed --in-place "s/^/# /g" /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Vault.repo<br>
sed --in-place "s/# #/##/g" /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Vault.repo<br>
sed --in-place "s/^/# /g" /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-CR.repo<br>
sed --in-place "s/# #/##/g" /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-CR.repo<br>
</p>
<p>That said, last I checked, the source and debuginfo repos are
also defined, but missing. This causes problems. That means I
currently need to type "dnf --enablerepo=* --disablerepo=*source
--disablerepo=*debuginfo search hotness" ... <br>
</p>
<p>I assume the core team simply hasn't had time to set those repos
yet ... and I don't mind waiting patiently, but perhaps it's time
to create, at the very least, an empty repo, as suggested above. <br>
