cannot modify default copr port/protocol

[t184256]

On a clean Fedora 41 install:

# rpm -q dnf5-plugins
dnf5-plugins-5.2.5.0-2.fc41.x86_64
# dnf copr debug
default_hubspec: copr.fedorainfracloud.org
default_hub_hostname: copr.fedorainfracloud.org
name_version: fedora-41
arch: x86_64
repo_fallback_priority:
  - fedora-41

I'd like to modify the default copr port and protocol:

# cat > /etc/dnf/plugins/copr.conf <<EOF
[copr.fedorainfracloud.org]
hostname = copr.fedorainfracloud.org
protocol = http
port = 80

[fedora]
hostname = copr.fedorainfracloud.org
protocol = http
port = 80
EOF

but both of these are ignored:

# dnf copr enable asosedkin/crypto-policies-extras
 https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/api_3/rpmrepo/asosedkin/crypto-policies-extras/fedora-41/   ???% |   0.0   B/s |   0.0   B |  00m00s

There seems to be some special-casing of empty hubspec:

dnf5/dnf5-plugins/copr_plugin/copr_config.cpp

Line 99 in bb826e1

if (hubspec.empty())

but this leaves me with a feeling that I need to create a section with an empty title:

dnf5/dnf5-plugins/copr_plugin/copr_config.cpp

Line 110 in bb826e1

if (this->has_section(hubspec)) {

and that's not allowed:

Error in configuration file "/etc/dnf/plugins/copr.conf"
 Empty section name on line 1

Could it, please, pick up the section with the default hubspec instead?

@praiskup Please could you check this COPR-related issue?

[praiskup]

Thank you for the report, @t184256

Indeed it looks like we need to finish something in this plugin :-/

The configuration you do is mixing up HUBSPEC and HUBURL. Can you try:

[fedora_insecure]
hostname = copr.fedorainfracloud.org
protocol = http
port = 80

And then dnf copr enable fedora_insecure/asosedkin/crypto-policies-extras?

There don't seem to be a way to pick the "default" section (default Copr hub) from dnf.conf, yet.

[t184256]

yeah, defining a custom one will work, the problem is specifically with the inability to override the default hub case (asosedkin/crypto-policies-extras)
