Thus DNF always gets the latest metadata. Then when downloading packages, outdated mirros are automatically excluded.
If you manually changed the configuration to baseurl, then you deliberately bypass Fedora infrastructure and you are at the mercy of the mirror administrators. Maybe DNF could support setting a prefered mirror while still checking for the latest metadata because in my experience the automatic mirror selection does not always provide the best performance. (E.g. when I connected an IPv6 only host in Germany, it resorted to a USA mirror.) -- Petr _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
