[Yum-devel] [PATCH] honor retries config option at mirror group level rather than grabber level

[Mike McLean]

Currently yum's retries config option is not honored because, though
it is passed to urlgrabber, the failure callback for urlgrabber always
re-raises the exception preventing retries.

This patch moves the retry mechanism to the mirror level. Mirrors are
allowed to fail $retries times before they are removed, but yum still
advances to the next mirror on each failure. This allows for the
configured number of retries, without stalling on a completely broken
mirror.
