Yes, if you want to put it that way. We want to use a backend that can supported the desired user experience. The hawkey stack is groomed to replace yum anyway. All we're asking is that we can use it early, so we can provide the testing exposure they need and ensure that hawkey does actually support the things we need. Without that, there's a very real danger that hawkey/dnf end up producing a perfect copy of yum (including all of the problems)... -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
