Subject: [PATCH 02/17] Override Makefile resolved variables

Most important:
- MICROSHIFT_VERSION is $USHIFT_BRANCH + $OKD_VERSION_TAG
- SOURCE_GIT_TREE_STATE is now hardcoded to 'clean'
  because we always change the specfile which always result in 'dirty'
- SOURCE_GIT_TAG and SOURCE_GIT_COMMIT copied from Makefile libraries

 #### RPM
 
-Review the instructions in [MicroShift RPMs](https://github.com/microshift-io/microshift/blob/main/docs/run.md#microshift-rpms) to install the packages and run MicroShift.
+Enable COPR repository (optionally specify chroot such as `centos-stream-9-{x86_64,aarch64}`, `fedora-42-{x86_64,aarch64}`):
+```sh
+sudo dnf copr enable $COPR_REPO_NAME [chroot]
+```
+
+Next, install MicroShift:
+```sh
+sudo dnf install -y \
+    microshift-$VERSION \
+    microshift-kindnet-$VERSION \
+    microshift-topolvm-$VERSION
+```
+
+Review the instructions in [MicroShift RPMs](https://github.com/microshift-io/microshift/blob/main/docs/run.md#microshift-rpms) to run MicroShift.
 
 #### Bootc Image
 
 Load the Bootc container image using the following command:
 
 ```bash
-sudo podman pull ghcr.io/microshift-io/microshift:$TAG
+sudo podman pull ghcr.io/microshift-io/microshift:$VERSION
 ```
 
 Or use the image with the `quickstart.sh`:
 ```bash
-curl -s https://microshift-io.github.io/microshift/quickstart.sh | sudo TAG=$TAG bash
+curl -s https://microshift-io.github.io/microshift/quickstart.sh | sudo TAG=$VERSION bash
 ```
 
 Review the instructions in [MicroShift Bootc Image](https://github.com/microshift-io/microshift/blob/main/docs/run.md#microshift-bootc-image) to run the image.
