Hi Fedorians,
I think we should define a more through list of blockers/criteria that
dnf5 needs to meet before it can replace the current dnf.
The DNF maintainers have their list of requirements, but it would be
helpful for the wider community to test dnf5 and report which currently
unimplemented features/usecases would block them from adopting it.
Hopefully, the more popular, for lack of a better word, blockers can be
incorporated into the Change Proposal or otherwise required by FESCo as
a prerequisite for this change. This should help the DNF maintainers
prioritize, keep everyone on the same page, and ensure that dnf5 doesn't
prematurely become the default.
Is there a way to test it? This didn't work:
# dnf install dnf5
Last metadata expiration check: 0:52:30 ago on Thu 06 Oct 2022 13:00:16 BST.
No match for argument: dnf5
Error: Unable to find a match: dnf5
Anyway, as previously mentioned "dnf5 download" should work as for
dnf, and especially must not require root privileges.
Rich.
