Jira (PUP-2916) yumrepo fails to honour custom reposdir

Steve Traylen commented on an issue   Re: yumrepo fails to honour custom reposdir Looking at 3.7.1 the logic is def self.reposdir(conf='/etc/yum.conf', dirs=['/etc/yum.repos.d', '/etc/yum/repos.d']) reposdir = find_conf_value('reposdir', conf) dirs << reposdir if reposdir which says use the following if the directories exist /etc/yum.repos.d /etc/yum/repos.d <reposdir> value It ignores them if the directory does not exist. So if your delete /etc/yum.repos.d the old behaviour is restored of writing to reposdir , this is a workaroud. I agree though this is undesirable. A 'reposdir' setting in the yum.conf should always win since that is what is actually used by yum. p.s very happy to see yumrepo type is much improved overall. Add Comment   Puppet / PUP-2916 yumrepo fails to honour custom reposdir With yum.conf containing reposdir=/etc/yum.repos.d/custom all was well with 3.4.3 and puppet managed the repo files correctly. Since the 3.5 changes to yumrepo, it no longer uses the custom repodir, so writes the repo files to the wrong directory (/etc/yum.repos.d). But then yum isn't reading them from this directory, so none of them are picked up ...
