Readme for dnf-repo-0.1

[back to package description]

dnf-repo

A wrapper of the dnf package manager for fine control of enabled/disabled yum repos (eg coprs).

DNF is not terribly fast at handling repos partly because it likes to refresh the cached repodata frequently. So it can be advantageous to disable smaller repos by default and only enable them as needed.

This tool can temporarily enable/disable repos selected by substring. Repo states can also be saved or their cache individually expired.

There are options to enable/disable testing/modular repos, and also to create a repo file for a Copr or Koji repo.
