That's correct - unmodified files will still be updated by RPM. > This new idea will let you make a change to the config without > blocking updates from making non-conflicting changes. This would even be good to use for enabling/disabling repos, again so that a URL change or such would still be applied. Long term, it might be ideal to treat the RPM-distributed repo files as read-only and move them to something like /usr/share/yum.repos.d, with only local changes (enable/disable, exclude, alternate mirror/baseurl) in /etc/yum.repos.d. -- Chris Adams <li...@cmadams.net> _______________________________________________ epel-devel mailing list -- epel-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to epel-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/epel-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
