If that's the case, should there at least be an empty repo that makes dnf happy until there's time there's actual content to be added there?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.
It should still exist.
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:
sed --in-place "s/^/# /g" /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Media.repo sed --in-place "s/# #/##/g" /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Media.repo sed --in-place "s/^/# /g" /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Vault.repo sed --in-place "s/# #/##/g" /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Vault.repo sed --in-place "s/^/# /g" /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-CR.repo sed --in-place "s/# #/##/g" /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-CR.repo
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" ...
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.
