Hi.
Is preupgrade supposed to honour your extant yum settings? I'm trying
it out on an F-8 machine going to rawhide. So far, it is working fine,
but it seems to be using random mirrors for downloading, rather than
the mirrors I have specified in my yum repo files
(failovermethod=priority is set). Using yum directly is fine.
If preupgrade uses its own mirrorlist, is there a way to force it to
use a particular mirror?
Yes, preupgrade is using its own mirrorlist.
No, currently there is not a way (unless you want to
edit /usr/share/preupgrade/releases.list) to specify your own mirrors.
Yes, we do want to change that for the future.
hope this helps somewhat.
