From 8b0ce3e28ff9e669d4967f136d69efba7a6eaa14 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ian Wienand Date: Sun, 8 Feb 2026 02:19:59 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] community.general.copr: clarify includepkgs/excludepkgs (#11464) At first glance, includepkgs seems to be something that would install the package name from the given copr repo. This isn't helped by the example that says "Install caddy" which very much looks like it is installing the package from the repo. Not only did I, a human, hallucinate this behaviour, so did a large search engine's AI responses to related queries. In fact these are labels to vary what packages DNF sees. Clarify this by using wording and examples closer to the upstream documentation [1] [1] https://dnf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/conf_ref.html --- plugins/modules/copr.py | 14 +++++++++----- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/plugins/modules/copr.py b/plugins/modules/copr.py index f28f0206ad..0b8f6bc4c5 100644 --- a/plugins/modules/copr.py +++ b/plugins/modules/copr.py @@ -50,12 +50,14 @@ options: is run. type: str includepkgs: - description: List of packages to include. + description: + - List of packages to include in all operations.
