dnf compatibility

[ctramnitz]

On dnf based systems (Fedora starting with 22, RHEL 8) reposync is an alias to dnf-utils, using "dnf reposync": https://dnf-plugins-core.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reposync.html

However, the options have changed slightly (i.e. '--repo' instead of '-r', '-p' instead of '--download_path')

I think this cookbooks needs a platform/platform-version detection to switch to the new parameters if needed.

Hello @ctramnitz ,
Thanks for the request, I will try to look at it soon.

Hello @ctramnitz ,

Me again, I didn't find any reference to the command line --repo, do you have any pointer?
