Kevin didn't say anything about it being silent. By all means, do warn people that mock is going to use yum instead of dnf as it should. But an application should never print an error message telling the user what they can do to get the error to go away. That's just bad design. If the application knows what the user should do to get around the error, then the application should just do it itself. Finally, you're basically saying that mock requires dnf to build "proper" Rawhide packages. You're a package maintainer, it is your responsibility to maintain the dependencies for your package in all the Fedora/EPEL branches where your package is. That means if mock requires dnf (and its plugins) to build Rawhide packages, and you maintain mock in EPEL, then it is your responsibility to make sure that dnf (and its plugins) are in EPEL. -- Mathieu -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
