Fwd: URL for fedora-updates changed in Fedora 28
Hi Release Engineering,
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
Now 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 like
baseurl=https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/fedora/updates/$releasever/$basearch/
I checked with Mirror Admin list and Adrian told me mirrormanager is
working as expected. So now I am wondering 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 or point to metalink URL in repo config?
I totally understand for most of the people they should use metalink, but
now I need to see if there are ways to ease the upgrading experience for
baseurl users.
Thanks in advance!
