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.
