Summary

Current status
- Targeted release: Fedora 31
- Last updated: 2019-04-23
- Tracker bug: <will be assigned by the Wrangler>
Detailed Description
Dnf team wants to change a default setting for the repo option skip_if_unavailable to FALSE. The option is responsible for behavior when metadata of a repository is unavailable. When it is set to false, it will stop on the first unavailable repository with raising an error. The default behavior could be overwritten by a configuration of each repository or in dnf by configuration in /etc/dnf/dnf.conf.
The behavior is not new, because it was used already by YUM, and the behavior is really essential because all Fedora ropos are already shipped with skip_if_unavailable=FALSE.
The change will be applied in libdnf library, and the changed behavior will be visible for all direct and indirect users of the library: dnf, microdnf, PackageKit, ... .
Benefit to Fedora
It should provide a better security because some Important updates from third-party repositories could be present in temporary unavailable repository, but user can easily overlook it during dnf update because the issue is reported as a warning.
