I think this needs a backport for EL7 as setting options for repos added with yum-config-manager by url don't work, presumably because they have dots in the fqdn portion of the url they were created from. +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1746349 +++ Description of problem: The "--setopt" have a problem with repositories with dots in id. The option parser uses first dot as a delimiter. Repository id may contain dots but option name can't. -> So, the last dot is delimiter and not the first one. Example: "--setopt=re.po.option=value " is parsed as repo id "re" and option "po.option". Correct result is repo id "re.po" and option "option". --- Additional comment from Jaroslav Rohel on 2019-08-28 09:09:24 UTC --- I made fix in upstream PR https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf/pull/1466 . --- Additional comment from Jaroslav Rohel on 2019-08-28 09:11:53 UTC --- The bug was catch during testing config-repo plugin https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1702678 .

Brian, it's probably a different issue than in the bug 1746349. yum-config-manager works OK with repos containing dots in their IDs/names both on rhel7.7 - yum-utils-1.1.31-52.el7 and 7.6 - yum-utils-1.1.31-50.el7 # yum-config-manager --setopt='repo.with.dots.retries=5' --save # cat /etc/yum.repos.d/repo.with.dots.repo [repo.with.dots] name=repo.with.dots baseurl=file:///tmp/testpath/repo.with.dots enabled=0 gpgcheck=0 retries = 5 keepcache = 0 Could you please provide a reproducer for your issue?
Indeed, as Eva confirmed, yum *does* already parse such repoids correctly, see: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/yum/blob/098cf29f8d0329ebbf6f215426d41808c5881960/cli.py#L214 That being said, I'm closing this one as NOTABUG.
