✨ NAME ✨

Okay bestie, meet dnf4-copr — the DNF copr Plugin, straight out of dnf-plugins-core (section 8 of your manuals, we love a numbered chapter 💅). It's the whole vibe for working with Copr & Playground repositories on your local system.

  • The copr command is your girl for adding or removing Copr repositories on the local system 🎀
  • The playground command is the one that enables or disables the Playground repository 🦋

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

dnf copr [enable|disable|remove|list|search] <parameters>

dnf playground [enable|disable|upgrade]

🎯 ARGUMENTS (COPR) 🎯

  • enable name/project [chroot] — turns on the name/project Copr repository, and you can optionally slide a chroot in there too ✨
  • disable name/project — switches the name/project Copr repository off, no drama 🙈
  • remove name/project — yeets the name/project Copr repository right out of there 💀
  • list --installed — lists your installed Copr repositories (this is the default, so it's basically the main character 👑)
  • list --enabled — lists the Copr repositories that are enabled 🔥
  • list --disabled — lists the Copr repositories that are disabled 😴
  • list --available-by-user=name — lists the available Copr repositories for a given name 🫶
  • search project — searches for a given project 🔍
  • enable hub/name/project — enables the name/project Copr repository from the specified Copr hub. That hub gets specified either by its hostname (eg. copr.fedorainfracloud.org) or by an ID that's defined in a configuration file. iykyk 🌸

⚙️ OPTIONS (COPR) ⚙️

All general DNF options are accepted, see Options in dnf(8) for details. (Yes, all of them, we're not doing the whole list here 💖)

🛠️ CONFIGURATION (COPR) 🛠️

Here are the files, keep them safe:

/etc/dnf/plugins/copr.conf
/etc/dnf/plugins/copr.d/
/usr/share/dnf/plugins/copr.vendor.conf

The configuration file should contain a section for each hub, each section having hostname (mandatory), protocol (default https) and port (default 443) parameters.:

[fedora]
hostname = copr.fedorainfracloud.org
protocol = https
port = 443

There's also a vendor configuration that lets a vendor specify the distro ID that copr should use by default. This is genuinely so useful for vendors that want to use Copr for their own distro, no cap. The vendor configuration lives in /usr/share/dnf/plugins/copr.vendor.conf (optional) or /etc/dnf/plugins/copr.conf:

[main]
distribution = fedora
releasever = 37

🧚 ARGUMENTS (PLAYGROUND) 🧚

  • enable — enables the Playground repository. Slay. ✨
  • disable — disables the Playground repository. 💔
  • upgrade — upgrades the Playground repository settings (same as disable and then enable — a little glow-up, lowkey 🔁)

🌸 OPTIONS (PLAYGROUND) 🌸

All general DNF options are accepted, see Options in dnf(8) for details. Same deal, bestie 💜

🍓 EXAMPLES 🍓

  • copr enable rhscl/perl516 epel-6-x86_64 Enable the rhscl/perl516 Copr repository, using the epel-6-x86_64 chroot. 🎯
  • copr disable rhscl/perl516 Disable the rhscl/perl516 Copr repository. 🙈
  • copr list --available-by-user=rita List available Copr projects for user rita. 🫶
  • copr search tests Search for Copr projects named tests. 🔍
