The change proposal calls for dnf5 to be ready by the time that F39 is
branched, on Aug 8 of this year.
Right now, I don't see any documentation for plugins, the general API
docs are (subjectively) terse, and the DNF5 git repo has a banner with
warning signs that says "The API/ABI is currently unstable." (...which
seems very odd, since 5.0.1 was released in November, so one would
expect that the API has been stable since at least that time.)
The change proposal doesn't seem to consider gnome-software at all (only
the gnome-software-rpm-ostree plugin is mentioned). It's not part of the
acceptance criteria, but it seems like it should be.
Is the current plan to support the PackageKit API in the dnf daemon, or
to port packagekit's dnf backend to the dnf5 API?
