Renovate config for OpenTofu

[kimdre]

Hi,
the Renovate bot tries to update the

required_version = ">= 1.7.2"

section in my repos all the time to the latest terraform version (1.9.0).

Does someone know how I can change this behaviour?

It seems that Renovate already supports OpenTofu, but looking at the code it seems that they only fetch releases from the Terraform repository and I haven't found an override for this. It may be worth opening an issue with them.

It is also worth noting that they should probably add support for the OpenTofu-specific code overrides coming in 1.8.

There is a discussion in the Renovate Repository regarding this: renovatebot/renovate#29786
And also a workaround/"temporary" solution that replaces the depName with opentofu: renovatebot/renovate#29786 (reply in thread)
