#1763 Repo files no longer need to be specific for Rawhide - one repo file to rule them all
Closed: Duplicate 3 years ago by praiskup. Opened 3 years ago by kparal.

This change has been merged and built into fedora-release package in Rawhide. The end result is that Rawhide now substitutes the $releasever DNF variable into rawhide string, and not a number (e.g. 35). This has a benefit for COPR (and all other projects maintaining Fedora repositories) - you no longer need to hardcode rawhide in the baseurl= of .repo files.

Currently (and historically) you have been doing this (an example from atim/gping):
Fedora Rawhide repo file contained:

baseurl=https://download.copr.fedorainfracloud.org/results/atim/gping/fedora-rawhide-$basearch/

All other releases' repo files contained:

baseurl=https://download.copr.fedorainfracloud.org/results/atim/gping/fedora-$releasever-$basearch/

That is no longer needed. Now you can have all releases (including Rawhide) use the same repo file containing:

baseurl=https://download.copr.fedorainfracloud.org/results/atim/gping/fedora-$releasever-$basearch/

Hope this is helpful and allows you to simplify your repo handling :grinning: :wine_glass:


Thank you for the ping, good news indeed. I'm moving this to the original report #639.
