Description

Hi,

yum has a features so you can set skip_if_unavailable = true for repositories which are e.g. inside of a VPN and you don't always have access to it.

Thanks for considering.

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating the repo-file parser and the handling of yum repository options, then trace how unavailable repositories are reported; done means a repository setting of skip_if_unavailable = true allows that repository to be skipped when inaccessible, with coverage for the behavior.
