Combining excludepkgs, using a space as the delimiter, now

According to the documentation:


*exclude*
    list

    Exclude packages of this repository, specified by a name or a glob
    and separated by a comma, from all operations. Can be disabled using
    *--disableexcludes* command line switch.

I got tripped up by the way bash imports
settigs from conf files.

What does bash have to do with this?

In bash it is called "sourcing".  It executes
the file as if it was native code.  The
command to do so is a dot


$ cat SourceExample.data

Todd=BestLookingEngineer
Sam=VerySmartLinuxGuy


$ cat SourceExample.bash
#!/usr/bin/env bash
. SourceExample.data
echo "Todd = $Todd"
echo "Sam  = $Sam"


$ bash -c SourceExample.bash
Todd = BestLookingEngineer
Sam  = VerySmartLinuxGuy


$ bash -x -c SourceExample.bash
+ '[' -z '' ']'
+ case "$-" in
+ __lmod_vx=x
+ '[' -n x ']'
+ set +x
+ unset __lmod_vx
+ SourceExample.bash
Todd = BestLookingEngineer
Sam  = VerySmartLinuxGuy




This is the correction:

# grep -i exclude /etc/dnf/dnf.conf
excludepkgs=thunderbird* metasploit-framework

I think Jonathon's point was that the docs say to use a comma, not a space for making the list.  But maybe a space works as well.

I always have used a space.  Someday, maybe I will try both.
