Description

This is to verify that Anaconda's inst.repo boot option works together with an HTTP or FTP repository.

Setup

  1. Prepare any media for booting the installer.

How to test

  1. Before booting the installer, specify a target HTTP/FTP repository by adding a following boot option:
    • For HTTP: 
      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://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/41/x86_64/os/
  2. Proceed with installation.

Expected Results

  1. The installer auto-selects requested HTTP/FTP repository as the installation source in its GUI
  2. 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://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/41/x86_64/os and mirrorlist None
