+++ 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 ... commit a39f13193419ce9494f21963b32ed7d4453e8e49 Author: James Antill <james> Date: Fri Oct 25 16:38:13 2013 -0400 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.
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.
