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`.
Do I understand correctly that this is the global default, and the setting in each repo file overrides the setting for that repo? Most repos contain either skip_if_unavailable=False or skip_if_unavailable=True and they will not be affected by this?
That was my understanding, yes. If it is set in the repo file, that will override the default.
