Long term I want to see dnf allowing overrides in a generic way, but this probably won't be available in EL until at least EL10 or later. Short term... editing the repo file, either by hand / with sed or with dnf config-manager, is the only way. One problem is, once you touch the .repo file, you will no longer pick up any changes introduced by later RPM updates (though that's rare) since they are marked `%config(noreplace)` Best regards, -- Michel Alexandre Salim profile: https://keyoxide.org/mic...@michel-slm.name
