<div style="margin: 5px 5% 10px 5%;"><img src="http://www.sickgaming.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/4-cool-new-projects-to-try-in-copr-for-february-2019.png" width="730" height="328" title="" alt="" /></div><div><p>COPR is a <a href="https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/">collection</a> of personal repositories for software that isn’t carried in Fedora. Some software doesn’t conform to standards that allow easy packaging. Or it may not meet other Fedora standards, despite being free and open source. COPR can offer these projects outside the Fedora set of packages. Software in COPR isn’t supported by Fedora infrastructure or signed by the project. However, it can be a neat way to try new or experimental software.</p>
<p>Here’s a set of new and interesting projects in COPR.</p>

<h3>CryFS</h3>
<p><a href="https://www.cryfs.org/">CryFS</a> is a cryptographic filesystem. It is designed for use with cloud storage, mainly Dropbox, although it works with other storage providers as well. CryFS encrypts not only the files in the filesystem, but also metadata, file sizes and directory structure. </p>
<h4>Installation instructions</h4>
<p>The repo currently provides CryFS for Fedora 28 and 29, and for EPEL 7. To install CryFS, use these commands:</p>
<pre class="wp-block-preformatted">sudo dnf copr enable fcsm/cryfs<br />sudo dnf install cryfs</pre>
<h3>Cheat</h3>
<p><a href="https://github.com/chrisallenlane/cheat">Cheat</a> is a utility for viewing various cheatsheets in command-line, aiming to help remind usage of programs that are used only occasionally. For many Linux utilities, <em>cheat</em> provides cheatsheets containing condensed information from man pages, focusing mainly on the most used examples. In addition to the built-in cheatsheets, <em>cheat</em> allows you to edit the existing ones or creating new ones from scratch. </p>

<h3>Setconf</h3>
<p><a href="https://setconf.roboticoverlords.org/">Setconf</a> is a simple program for making changes in configuration files, serving as an alternative for sed. The only thing <em>setconf</em> does is that it finds the key in the specified file and changes its value. Setconf provides only a few options to change its behavior — for example, uncommenting the line that is being changed. </p>
<h4>Installation instructions</h4>
<p>The repo currently provides setconf for Fedora 27, 28 and 29. To install setconf, use these commands:</p>
<pre class="wp-block-preformatted">sudo dnf copr enable jamacku/setconf<br />sudo dnf install setconf</pre>
<h3>Reddit Terminal Viewer</h3>
<p><a href="https://github.com/michael-lazar/rtv">Reddit Terminal Viewer</a>, or rtv, is an interface for browsing Reddit from terminal. It provides the basic functionality of Reddit, so you can log in to your account, view subreddits, comment, upvote and discover new topics. Rtv currently doesn’t, however, support Reddit tags.</p>
