Hi Mirror admin list,
As Fedora 28 released, we find that the URL for fedora-updates changed in Fedora. For Fedora 27 it looks like http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/updates/27/x86_64/ While for Fedora 28, http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/updates/28/Everything/x86_64/
And this was not mentioned in the wiki page https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Repositories
Today we've got feedback from users that they are now having problems updating to Fedora 27. Checking his repo it shows he is using a baseurl with the Fedora 27 format.
So I wonder if this is a bug in Fedora 28 tier 0 or this is the expected behavior? And if this is the expected behavior, do we have any way to mitigate the problems for legacy users (people who using baseurl pointing to their closest mirror) rather than asking them to change the baseurl in repo config?
If this is not a proper list to ask this question, can someone point out which list shall I ask for information?
Thanks in advance!

I can answer it only from the MirrorManager side. It it the expected behaviour and is related to the tooling creating the repositories. That is all I know. MirrorManager handles is correctly and if repo files have been edited it usually is up to the user to adapt to changes. This answer is probably not very helpful but it would be interesting to know why people are changing their repo files. To avoid situation like this is the reason why we handle it in MirrorManager.

Maybe contact release engineering.

Thanks Adrian. Good to know it is expected. I'll forward the remaining question to rel-eng for suggestions
