I have come across this workaround, but dislike it for exactly the same reason as Tim. Another "solution" floating around the web is use fastestmirror. Those of us who have been a Fedora users know it all too well the issues with fastestmirror. That said, I believe it has a "exclude" option, if I could use that, but not use fastestmirror, that could be acceptable for the time being. But I don't think that's possible. Maybe I should just use Samuel's workaroound for now, and file an RFE against dnf. -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org
