Enable/Disable repo with dnf

[Luigi Votta]

Good day
I'm trying to enable the fedora-source and updates-source repos, using
this command:

sudo dnf --enablerepo=fedora-source repolist

The result of the command is that the fedora-source seems enabled 
(it has a * in front of its name) but there is no
fedora-source.repo in /etc/yum.repos.d/

Can anyone say me how to proceed?

Thanks
Luigi.

$ grep fedora-source /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo
/etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo:[fedora-source]
/etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo:mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-source-$releasever&arch=$basearch

;)

Multiple repos may be contained in a single repo file.

Michael

Open /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo and notice it's an INI-style
file, where the repo names are the section ids in brackets.

On a side note (C#) I've long felt that one of the worst decisions 
Microsoft ever made was abandoning the human readable (and editable) 
.ini file and replacing it with the binary Windows Registry that takes a 
special program to edit and can fsck up your system at any moment 
because one bit flipped.
