And the one following it.... "Is it possible to force DNF to get the latest metadata on dnf upgrade?"
Running KDE and the notifications in the systray showed there are 12 updates available. Figured I give dnf a try, which I've done from time to time, but it showed no packages to update. OK....so clean metadata for both yum and dnf....
ran both "yum check-update" and "dnf check-update".
yum listed the 12
And dnf offered nothing...
Is this just a case of whatever generates the metadata that yum uses, and whatever else generates the metadata that dnf uses, do their generation at different times? Or do they actually have a different set of package files to look through?
I can't help but wonder what changing from yum to dnf will do for mirror sites. Are we going to see a prolonged period where various mirrors stagnate?
