Hello,
can someone explain how multi-repository functionality works?

What is the role of the first parameter, `repo_url`?

How does failover between repositories work?
How does it switch from one to another? What happens if there's no name resolution? What if the package download fails? If both respond correctly, which one is used?

How is the repository chosen? First, the one in the "general" settings? Then the ones in the repositories in the order they are listed?

It wasn't originally designed for failover, but why not?

Currently, multi-repo is used for specific cases; an attempt at explanation is made here:

It's not finished yet. We'll see in the next version.

Therefore, this method cannot be used to compensate for the failure of a storage facility?
