dnf migration period

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Greetings fellow cloudies!

This bug (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1201655) spawned a
conversation on IRC that we thought should be moved here to the list.

With the migration from yum to dnf in full swing, we've got to figure
out what the intent translates to regarding packages installed on the
cloud image. Currently, yum is not installed on the cloud images, only
dnf. Judging by this discussion during a fesco meeting [0], this is
known and expected. 

The other flavors (Workstation and Server) both have yum installed upon
fresh installation. libreport pulls yum in as a dep - so yum is only
there until libreport gets migrated. The question for us is, do we want
a migration period for cloud users to have time to migrate their tools
to dnf? I think from a mere usability standpoint, it makes sense to have
yum and dnf installed alongside each other so things don't break; but I
can see both sides of the argument.

More information on the history of this discussion can be found in the
meeting log [0], and this fesco ticket [1].

Thoughts?
