repositories: Kimchi does not display metalink information
Originally reported on https://github.com/kimchi-project/kimchi/issues/461 For more details, please, check the original issue.
Some YUM repositories may be configured with "metalink" instead of baseurl or mirrorlist. In this case, Kimchi should be able to properly display the information to user.
From http://linux.die.net/man/5/yum.conf metalink Specifies a URL to a metalink file for the repomd.xml, a list of mirrors for the entire repository are generated by converting the mirrors for the repomd.xml file to a baseurl.
