/etc/dnf/{dnf.d|conf.d}/*.conf overrides support

[birdie-github]

I'd love to override dnf.conf settings without touching the file because future updates may change it.

Can this be done without /etc/dnf/{dnf.d|conf.d}/override.conf or I'm simply missing something?

An /etc/dnf/conf.d/ directory would be imho quite awesome. It would make vendoring Fedora/RHEL installs much easier – say you want your DNF to behave some specific way all across your organization, you just drop in a config file in your myorganization-customization RPM and roll that out (or include it in your kickstart)

ah wait, #1414 might be addressing this?

It does except it's seemingly abandoned and has got "This branch has conflicts that must be resolved
Only those with write access to this repository can merge pull requests".

Ah, that's not a bad sign or anything; totally normal during team development. A git rebase isn't necessarily a big thing.

But, essentially what this issue here does is be a github mirror of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1352234 (which I just learned about)

The feature is already implemented in DNF5. The feature is not yet documented and not yet released therefore stay tuned. DNF5 already replaced microdnf in Fedora 38, and in Fedora 41 will replace DNF.
