This article series<\/a> takes a closer look at interesting projects that recently landed in Copr.<\/p>\n

<\/span> <\/p>\n

Copr<\/a> is a build-system for anyone in the Fedora community. It hosts thousands of projects with a wide variety of purposes, targeting diverse groups of users. Some of them should never be installed by anyone, some are already transitioning into the official Fedora repositories, and others fall somewhere in between. Copr allows you to install third-party software not found in the standard Fedora repositories, try nightly versions of your dependencies, use patched builds of your favourite tools to support some non-standard use-cases, and experiment freely.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t know how to enable a repository<\/a> or if you are concerned about whether is it safe to use Copr<\/a>, please consult the project documentation<\/a>.<\/p>\n
