Overview

Manage yum repo configurations by parsing yum INI configuration files.

### Fetching instances

When fetching repo instances, directory entries in ‘/etc/yum/repos.d’, ‘/etc/yum.repos.d’, and the directory optionally specified by the reposdir key in ‘/etc/yum.conf’ will be checked. If a given directory does not exist it will be ignored. In addition, all sections in ‘/etc/yum.conf’ aside from ‘main’ will be created as sections.

### Storing instances

When creating a new repository, a new section will be added in the first yum repo directory that exists. The custom directory specified by the ‘/etc/yum.conf’ reposdir property is checked first, followed by ‘/etc/yum/repos.d’, and then ‘/etc/yum.repos.d’. If none of these exist, the section will be created in ‘/etc/yum.conf’.
