There's some confusion around this, so I thought I would post to try and clear up things. In the event I am wrong on any of the below, please do feel free to correct me. ;) In the past the proposal was to have a yum-dnf package that provided /usr/bin/yum, called dnf and conflicted with the yum package. I was against that plan, but I think the one we settled on is worth doing. It's somewhat of a middle ground between "yum is gone right now, deal with it" and "you can keep using yum forever". For f22 (and rawhide): * dnf is installed by default. By that I mean it is in the 'core' group in comps. * dnf-yum is installed by default. By that I mean it is in the 'core' group in comps next to dnf. * yum is installed if something that depends on yum pulls it in or say a user installs it manually. * yum requires dnf-yum. So, if you install yum manually you will also pull in dnf-yum (and the dnf plugin that handles history migrate). * When you run 'yum' you get: % sudo yum list foobar Yum command has been deprecated, use dnf instead. See 'man dnf' and 'man yum2dnf' for more information. To transfer transaction metadata from yum to DNF, run 'dnf migrate' Redirecting to '/usr/bin/dnf list foobar' ...then the ouput from dnf list foobar... * If you wish to still use yum, the yum package provides now a /usr/bin/yum-deprecated command that is the old yum command renamed. It also has the notice message as above on it. * If you are using the yum python bindings directly, that will continue to work if you have the yum package installed. Note that this landed before Beta freeze, but there were some issues with the initial package doing this. There is an update available: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/yum-3.4.3-505.fc22 I think this helps those users who read any of the docs out there that say to 'yum install foo' at the cost of those people who need some specific command line behavior from yum. The second group is much better positioned to use yum-deprecated or know whats going on than the first group. kevin
