Configuration for specifiying external copr://owner/project repositories

[praiskup]

Description

For packages that are released togehter - like "mock" and "python-templated-dictionary" - we often need to build one of those packages first, and make the updated (newer version) version available when CI-building the second one (and sometimes vice-versa).

For Mock, we have https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/mock/mock-deps/ project where we (sometimes) host pre-release versions of some tools to fixup CI.

It would be nice to say, e.g.:

copr_build_external_repositories:
    - copr://@mock/mock-deps

hi @praiskup , just to clarify, is this something else than additional_repos?

[praiskup]

Ah, thank you for the answer - I am a terrible documentation reader obviously (this is not the first time I did not found the needed option in docs).
