[unix_distributions][fedora] Fedora Silverblue does not fully support the Fedora Copr

[LukeShortCloud]

This is because the $releasever variable is not rendered correctly. Instead of being a number such as 38, it is actually rpmostree-unset-releasever.

$ sudo ./rpm-ostree-compose.sh

Here is a workaround script someone made:

#!/bin/bash
pushd /tmp

author="$(echo $2 | cut -d '/' -f1)"
reponame="$(echo $2 | cut -d '/' -f2)"

if [ ! $3 ]; then
 releasever="$(rpm -E %fedora)"
else
 releasever=$3
fi

if [[ "$1" == "enable" ]]; then
 echo "$author/$reponame -> $releasever"
 curl -fsSL https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/$author/$reponame/repo/fedora-$releasever/$author-$reponame-fedora-.repo | sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/$author-$reponame.repo
elif [[ "$1" == "remove" ]]; then
 sudo rm /etc/yum.repos.d/$author-$reponame.repo
fi

If building a custom rpm-ostree system, this value can be manually set in the Treefile.
