DNF5

DNF5

[Ross Burton]

Hi,

At FOSDEM there were was a session about DNF 5 and someone (sorry if you’re reading this, I can’t remember your name) came to the stand to ask if we’ve looked at it.  I was aware of a DNF replacement but wasn’t aware that it had actually started making releases.

I’ve just pushed a branch to poky-contrib:ross/dnf5 which adds recipes for DNF5 and any new dependencies (it also needs meta-oe right now, as some dependencies are there).  It builds a dnf-native, but the blocker is that it doesn’t yet implement —repofrompath to add a repository without a corresponding configuration file, which is what we use at rootfs time.  We can probably work around that by writing a temporary repo file, or just implement the feature upstream.

If anyone is interested in helping the port to DNF5 then your help would be appreciated!

Ross

Is there some reading material for quick highlights of dnf5 and its future ?

The Fedora change wiki has some important caveats:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/ReplaceDnfWithDnf5

The above references this:
https://dnf5.readthedocs.io/en/latest/dnf5.8.html

This is probably the best source of what is planned:
https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf5/milestone/1

Rather long thread about status:
