I had these be intentionally separate because if you want to control the transport retry behavior, you should be using remote.WithTransport.

@jonjohnsonjr if so, I don't get what are all these options for..

This Pull Request is stale because it has been open for 90 days with
no activity. It will automatically close after 30 more days of
inactivity. Keep fresh with the 'lifecycle/frozen' label.

This is still desired. @jonjohnsonjr is this still something you don't want for go-containerregistry?

@jonjohnsonjr Could you expand on

if you want to control the transport retry behavior, you should be using remote.WithTransport.

please?

There are three settings that control retry behavior - status codes, predicate, and backoff - and currently all three are set in different ways:

• the status codes that trigger a retry attempt are set from o.retryStatusCodes, so they account for any settings provided with config.WithRetryStatusCodes();
• the retry predicate is always set to the defaultRetryPredicate defined in options.go;
• the backoff isn't explicitly set in makeOptions(), so it falls back to the default defined in retry.go.

This inconsistency is quite unexpected and confusing, and this PR would immediately resolve that confusion.

I am also very curious about @aslafy-z 's question - if config.WithRetryBackoff() does not affect the retry backoff used by the actual transport, what is it for?

@imjasonh @jonjohnsonjr Can you please reconsider this PR? Thank you

Any news please? Thank you

Ack on this PR. @jonjohnsonjr or @imjasonh it feels like the current implementation is a bug in that the respective retry mechanisms aren't consistently applied. Or am I missing something?

@Subserial I've seen you've approved #2135, can this one can also go through?

Thank you @Subserial!

@Subserial Any chance a release gets cut anytime soon?
