It seems like we created some very weird problems by having two independent package managers that can't even talk to each other. Maybe we should just tell people to use yumex-dnf, since it just calls DNF APIs through dnfdaemon, and I believe those transactions remain in sync. Doing things like having PK shell out to call dnf mark just makes things really odd. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
