RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description John W. Lamb 2013-10-28 21:07:21 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1023595 +++

Description of problem:

Running yum-config-manager --setopt=repo.id.with.dots.enabled=0 repo.id.with.dots --save doesn't update the repo config file as expected.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
yum-utils-1.1.31-14 (Fedora)
yum-utils-1.1.30-14 (Red Hat 6.4)

How reproducible:

Add a repository with dots in the repoid, then try to adjust some attribute using yum-config-manager --setopt 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add a repo in /etc/yum.repos.d with a dot in the repoid (in RHEL, this was discovered with the OpenShift repos, e.g. rhel-server-ose-1.2-infra-6-rpms)
2. Try to adjust some option using yum-config-manager: yum-config-manager --setopt=rhel-server-ose-1.2-infra-6-rpms.enabled=0 rhel-server-ose-1.2-infra-6-rpms --save
3. Check the repo file to verify that the change did not get committed

Actual results:
The "enabled" option will remain unchanged

Expected results:
The "enabled" option will be written to file as "enabled=0"

Additional info:
As mentioned above, this impacts Fedora and RHEL.

--- Additional comment from Luke Meyer on 2013-10-26 07:12:01 EDT ---

There is some indication that you should be able to work around this with wildcards, e.g. http://lists.baseurl.org/pipermail/yum-commits/2012-February/004559.html

At least with yum-utils-1.1.30-14.el6.noarch though, this doesn't work. Wildcard setopts are silently ignored. E.g.:

yum-config-manager  --setopt '*.exclude=bar' rhel-6-server-rpms --save
# that does nothing
yum-config-manager  --setopt 'rhel-6-server-rpms.exclude=bar' rhel-6-server-rpms --save
# that works

BTW, would it be too much trouble to get some kind of error indication when setopt is ignored? As it is, the only way you can tell you've made a typo or it didn't work is by checking the output value to see if it matches what you put in, which isn't great for scripted usage.

Simple patch, that should backport easily ...

     Fix some bugs in setopt for repo config. entries. BZ 1023595.
    
    1. Sort the wildcard entries, so we always do them in the same order
    (probably almost never get more than one anyway).
    
    2. Split repoid.config_name on the last dot instead of the first as
    repoid can contain dots.
    
    3. Don't set non-wildcard entries twice, just for fun.
Comment 3 Luke Meyer 2013-11-15 16:25:29 UTC 
We'd like to request a 6.5 errata for this. 6.4 z-stream not needed, but we don't want to wait for 6.6. I'll try to figure out whom to involve to get it on the right track.
