[URL Verdict: Neutral][Non-DoD Source] Re: Attempting to configure an ISC BIND repository on Red Hat Linux 7.9

[DeCaro, James John (Jim) CIV DISA FE (USA)]

Modified the repo file to mimic the repo data provided from the isc web site verbatim:

[copr:copr.fedorainfracloud.org:isc:bind]
name=Copr repo for bind owned by isc
baseurl=https://download.copr.fedorainfracloud.org/results/isc/bind/epel-7-$basearch/
type=rpm-md
skip_if_unavailable=True
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://download.copr.fedorainfracloud.org/results/isc/bind/pubkey.gpg
repo_gpgcheck=0
enabled=1
enabled_metadata=1

--same result

I tried it both ways and got the same result.  The $basearch variable will parse the directory.  But just in case I modified the baseurl to ....-7-x86_64/ which is the directory .  Made no difference in the result.  Modified the repo file as follows:  

[Copr:copr.fedorainfracloud.org:isc:bind]
name=Corp repo for bind owned by isc
baseurl=Caution-https://download.copr.fedorainfracloud.org/results/isc/bind/epel-7-x86_64/
skip_if_unavailable=True
gpgcheck=0
enabled=1
enabled_metadata=1
type=rpm-md

---same result.

Sigh. What do they teach at system administration school these days?

You see the variable called $basearch in that URL? You're supposed to 
replace it with an actual architecture, such as "x86_64".

Blindly copy+pasting things without pausing to think about what you're 
doing, is bad practice.
