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 http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-40&arch=x86_64 (change architecture to match the architecture of your installation media; you can also use https:// in the address)
- 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-40&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
