That was no API change, `basearch` function was actually introduced in this release [1][2]. Lorax guys, can you adapt lorax, please? "self.basearch = dnf.arch.basearch(buildarch)" -> "self.basearch = dnf.rpm.basearch(buildarch)" Keep in touch with me via IRC (jsilhan on #fedora-releng) when you are awake so we can find the best solution for this issue. Also double check what non DNF API functions are you using. If you want them to be added into API, file the bug for DNF and we will happily document it. We would like to not get back to yum age where no API existed and every tools was calling whatever they liked. Whenever we break API it's in the next major release only while providing patches to the consumers we know about. Paradoxically, this was exposed on relengs demand - to add custom arch support for repoclosure. This will be needed for F23.
