      .DNF(8) now includes information about `dnf makecache --timer` not trying further mirrors if the first mirror fails

      Previously, the information that the `dnf makecache --timer` command does not try further mirrors in a repository mirrorlist if the first mirror failed was not included in the DNF(8) man page. With this update, the documentation was updated to include this information.

      It shouldn't give up if there's an SSL certificate error with a mirror. It should switch to a different mirror.
