However, the Change seems to me to have been written with the basic idea that yum shouldn't be installed by default any more and nothing that's a core part of Fedora should use it any more - for e.g., the Change incorporates moving anaconda to dnf, even though technically speaking there's no *need* for this, we could if we wanted to ship F22 with anaconda using yum but the installed system using dnf. So given that, I wanted to clarify the status of fedup. If F22's fedup depends on yum, then people with 'clean' dnf-only systems are going to get yum installed when they want to upgrade to F23. Of course, we could ship F22 on release day with a yum-based fedup then provide a dnf-based one as an update, but that seems a bit messy. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
