Description
This is to verify that an installation can be performed from a mirror list repository configured in the Anaconda GUI.
How to test
- Boot the installer using any available non-live means (anything except
Live.iso) - Change the installation source to point to a mirror list URL
- Default Fedora mirror list URL is:
- in mirrorlist format: http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=fedora-42&arch=x86_64
- in metalink format: http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-42&arch=x86_64
- both formats are valid and should be accepted by the installer; change architecture to match the architecture of your installation media, e.g. i386; you can also use https:// in the address
- Ensure you check the box This URL refers to a mirror list.
- Default Fedora mirror list URL is:
- Proceed with the installation
Expected Results
- The installer accepts the mirror list repository definition
- The said mirror list is used for installation. This can be checked by examining the
/tmp/packaging.logfile. Example output:09:34:37,295 DEBUG packaging: adding yum repo anaconda with baseurl None and mirrorlist http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-42&arch=x86_64 09:34:37,313 DEBUG packaging: disabling repo fedora 09:34:37,313 DEBUG packaging: disabling repo updates-testing 09:34:37,314 DEBUG packaging: disabling repo updates
- The installation completes and the new system initiates boot properly
