Hello,
New DNF release is out. See the blog [1], the release notes [2] and
the F20 update [3]. Rawhide build went smooth this time too!
I just had an interesting effect. I neglected to run `dnf install' as
root, but instead ran it under my normal user account. dnf happily
downloaded all files, then asked me to accept a PGP key, which
understandably failed when trying to install the key. But even without
the key problem, it would also have failed to install the rpms.
So I'm wondering, why did it download the files anyway and then only
failed afterwards, rather than to tell me "you must be root to install"
right at the start? That would have been a bit more user friendly,
I think.
Thanks,
Corinna
Hi,
you're running into another thing that we widely debated in the past:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1038504
Short summary is: we are going to provide a plugin that does just what
you describe.
