Description Karel Srot 2014-05-07 08:37:41 UTC 
Same problems as in RHEL-6 bug 1094373.
yum-3.4.3-117.el7.noarch 

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1094373 +++

Description of problem:

# rpm -q yum
yum-3.2.29-51.el6.noarch

# yum-config-manager --setopt '*.retries=11' repoBlah1 repoBlah2 | egrep '(\[repoBlah|retries)'
[repoBlah1]
retries = 10
[repoBlah2]
retries = 10

# yum-config-manager --setopt 'repoBlah*.retries=11' repoBlah1 repoBlah2 | egrep '(\[repoBlah|retries)'
[repoBlah1]
retries = 10
[repoBlah2]
retries = 10

# yum-config-manager --setopt 'repoBlah1.retries=11' repoBlah1 repoBlah2 | egrep '(\[repoBlah|retries)'
[repoBlah1]
retries = 11
[repoBlah2]
retries = 10

Also, the --setopt parsing could be a bit more tolerant to the provided input.

# yum-config-manager --setopt 'repoBlah1.retries = 11' repoBlah1 repoBlah2 | egrep '(\[repoBlah|retries)'
Repo repoBlah1 did not have a retries  attr. before setopt
[repoBlah1]
retries = 10
retries  =  11
[repoBlah2]
retries = 10
