Associated release criterion
This test case is associated with the Basic_Release_Criteria#remote-package-sources release criterion. If you are doing release validation testing, a failure of this test case may be a breach of that release criterion. If so, please file a bug and nominate it as blocking the appropriate milestone, using the blocker bug nomination page.

Description
This is to verify that Anaconda's inst.repo boot option works together with an HTTP(S) or FTP repository.
Setup
- Prepare any non-live media for booting the installer (anything except
Live.iso). - Pick a mirror URL from the list of available mirrors. For example here's a list of Fedora 40 x86_64 mirrors. The top ones should be closest to you (and possibly fastest).
- Make sure the repository architecture matches the architecture of your installer media.
- You can also use your own install repository, if you have one.
How to test
- Before booting the installer, specify a target HTTP/FTP repository (selected in previous step) by adding a following boot option:
- For HTTP or HTTPS:
inst.repo=http(s)://<host>/<path>
- For FTP:
inst.repo=ftp://<host>/<path>
- If proxy is needed, add it as another option:
proxy=[protocol://][username[:password]@]host[:port]
- Example: Use
inst.repo=http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/development/40/x86_64/os/
- For HTTP or HTTPS:
- Proceed with installation.
Expected Results
- The installer auto-selects requested HTTP/FTP repository as the installation source in its GUI
- The requested repository is used to download and install required packages. This can be checked by inspecting
/tmp/packaging.log. Example output:09:34:37,295 DEBUG packaging: adding yum repo anaconda with baseurl http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/development/40/x86_64/os/ and mirrorlist None 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
