epel mirrorlist - metalink vs mirrorlist #66

Closed pscadiz closed 7 years ago

pscadiz commented 7 years ago

I'm currently installing python34 and python34-virtualenv using the epel repositories provided by this module. Current issue experiencing right now is that python34-virtualenv is not available. Checked and there was a minor difference between the epel repo provided by this module and the epel-release package

[epel provided by this module] mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=epel-7&arch=$basearch

[epel-release package] mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-7&arch=$basearch

Changing the mirrorlist url to metalink is able to install python34-virtualenv, as well as setuptools.

Just wanted to raise this if ever a change should be made in this module to change 'mirrorlist' to 'metalink', or if something has changed with the epel repos themselves.

I think this was fixed in 03d58dd2563558fc9b339fe6f9016a974795a8bd, but we may not have made a forge release since then.

Thanks for that. Have made the change to pull that commit instead of the tag.
