Fedora 44 includes a small improvement for enabling/disabling repos that makes my OCD happy.

old syntax:
dnf config-manager setopt $repoid.enabled=1
dnf config-manager setopt $repoid.enabled=0

new syntax:
dnf config-manager enable $repoid
dnf config-manager disable $repoid

@letoams@defcon.social Sure, I can take care of that. First pass posted on the bug. If you want to review swap, I've got this one in the queue. A few people have commented, but so far no one has assigned it to themselves. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2439787

@buckfiftyseven@mastodon.social The dnf devs didn't preserve the old dnf4 syntax, but the dnf5 setopt syntax still works since it's usable for setting other options as well.

@buckfiftyseven@mastodon.social Indeed, that is the even older dnf4 syntax. It's probably the most common thing you'll find online since CentOS/RHEL still uses it. Basically the syntax started ok, got worse initially in dnf5, and now it's better (shorter) than ever.
