COPR-command copied to clipboard

A small script reenabling the "COPR" command on Fedora distros not including it

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 pkexec for writing the repo file. Thus it also works without sudo.

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 kdesig/kde-nightly-qt6
  copr remove kdesig/kde-nightly-qt6
  copr list
  copr search bubblejail

Install:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/boredsquirrel/COPR-command/main/copr -P ~/.local/bin/ &&\
chmod +x ~/.local/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.
