standalone copr command

Note

This Tool is not made or supported by the Fedora Project, but aims to reproduce the dnf copr functionalities for easily adding COPRs on Fedora Atomic Desktops, IoT and CoreOS.

It does most actions rootless (unlike dnf copr) and only requires privilege escalation using run0 for writing or changing the repo file. Thus it also works without sudo.

The tool also fixes SELinux contexts and filesystem permissions, to secure the repo files from tampering. Atomic Desktops allow unprivileged updates from existing repos, so this is important.

Usage: copr [OPTION] [ARGUMENT]

Options:
  enable    Add COPR repository
  disable   Keep a repo but disable it
  remove    Remove COPR repository after backing it up
  list      List all COPR repositories in your repo folder
  search    Search for a COPR repository by name (in your Browser)
  help      Display this help text

Argument:
  Name of the COPR repository (for search) or "author/repo" (for install and remove)

Examples:
  copr enable kwizart/kernel-longterm-6.6
  copr remove kdesig/kde-nightly-qt6
  copr list
  copr search bubblejail

Install:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/boredsquirrel/COPR-command/main/copr -O ./copr
run0 sh -c '
  mkdir /var/usrlocal/bin
  mv ./copr /var/usrlocal/bin
  chown -R root:root /var/usrlocal/bin
  chcon -R system_u:object_r:bin_t:s0 /var/usrlocal/bin
  chmod +x /var/usrlocal/bin/copr
'

Note

COPR repos are version-independent, but there is always a chance that they are unmaintained and thus dont support the current version. A solution like warning about that, or even removing them, could be useful. I did not test such a case on Fedora Atomic, and guess such a package would result in an rpm-ostree error.

Warning

COPR repositories can contain anything. Only add them if you trust the developers and know the repo really belongs to them.
