QA:Testcase install repository HTTP variation

Description

This is to verify that Anaconda's inst.repo boot option works together with an HTTP(S) or FTP repository.

Setup

1. Prepare any non-live media for booting the installer (anything except Live.iso).

How to test

1. Before booting the installer, specify a target HTTP/FTP repository by adding a following boot option:
   • For HTTP or HTTPS:

     inst.repo=http(s)://<host>/<path>

   • For FTP:

     inst.repo=ftp://<host>/<path>

   • If proxy is needed, add it as another option:

     proxy=[protocol://][username[:password]@]host[:port]

   • Example: Use

     inst.repo=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/40/x86_64/os/ 

   • Make sure the repository architecture matches the architecture of your installer media.
2. Proceed with installation.

Expected Results

1. The installer auto-selects requested HTTP/FTP repository as the installation source in its GUI
2. The requested repository is used to download and install required packages. This can be checked by inspecting /tmp/packaging.log. Example output:

   09:34:37,295 DEBUG packaging: adding yum repo anaconda with baseurl http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/40/x86_64/os and mirrorlist None
   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
   

3. The installation completes and the new system initiates boot properly
