Bug 1478208

related to COPR plugin -> reassigning to msuchy

This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 25. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '25'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 25 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

There is: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf-plugins-core/blob/master/plugins/copr.py#L91

So that should do it if /root/.config/copr is present. Can you confirm?

I think we could remove: 

if self.copr_url != "https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org":
    print(_("Warning: we are using non-standard Copr URL '{}'.").format(self.copr_url))"

but at the same time, some info about /root/.config/copr being read would be useful.

This would be better placed in dnf configuration somewhere.

It does, it is cumbersome though... see below.

I wouldn't do this.  Users shouldn't ideally touch the ~/.config/copr,
that config file should be related to the "main" copr instance (aka
Fedora's copr production).  If users want to enable something from
different copr instance, it deserves separate configuration file.

I dislike the fact that dnf and copr-cli share the same configuration
file.  This means that (a) it is a bit harder to keep the api of that
file, and (b) dnf can know some info which is not supposed to be known
by dnf (namely secure copr token).

> This would be better placed in dnf configuration somewhere.

Definitely.  Dnf could have it's own configuration file, say `copr.conf`,
where users could insert e.g. several sections like `[fedora-copr]`
(the default) and `[internal-copr]`.  Then,
`dnf copr --instance internal-copr` could be used.  Well, that's just
idea, the semantics can be different -- but dnf should be able to work
with many copr instances at the same time.
