how do i pick up the new rpms in updates-testing?

[Robert P. J. Day]

almost certainly a stupid question, but how do i force "dnf update"
to consult the latest mirrors to see the new packages now available?

i can *see* here:

http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/updates/testing/22/x86_64/n/

the new NetworkManager rpm that solves a particular problem i've run
into, but no variation of "dnf update" i run will pick it up.

what's the secret recipe?

sudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled updates-testingshould enable the repo you need.

no, my updates-testing repo *is* enabled ... i'm asking about an
obvious time lag from the time i see those rpms in the repo, and when
my local dnf command finally sees them.

So, if you look at:

http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/updates/testing/22/x86_64/repod...

you can see the repomd.xml file was created today at 19:43 UTC time.

So, thats the time when the repo was "live" on the master mirrors.

Next, mirrormanager has to crawl the tree and see what changed and
update it's db of 'current' repodata. It starts crawls when it sees a
message something changed, but it can take it a few hours depending on
how much changed.

Once thats done, hourly there is a static file updated from the db and
synced out to the mirrorlist servers. Once that pushes out with the new
repomd.xml info in it you should see it in metalinks.

While thats going on, mirrors are mirroring the master mirror on
whatever schedule they do.

So, it can take a few hours at least.

Try refreshing your local cache: # dnf clean metadata expire-cache. If that
doesn't work, a # dnf clean all should do it. If you still doesn't see the
packages you're looking for then you'll have to wait for your mirrors to
sync up.
