This change proposal has been under discussion and revision for a while. A
lot of work has gone in to this plan to minimize the disruption. Still, dnf
is a core piece of software and we want to make sure everyone understands the
proposal and has an opportunity to discuss it.
The final revision of the proposal is available at the URL above. FESCo is
waiting one more week for any remaining discussion on the change proposal. We
plan to bring the proposal up for vote in the next meeting.
Thanks for the reminder David!
DNF5 looks very promising and the performance improvement is very welcome.
Just to be sure, are the critical features under scope in the change
proposal considered as blockers (Search for example isn't listed under
`Acceptance Criteria`)? It would be a very bad idea to have a package
manager without basic features such as search, list or info...
Furthermore, DNF5 feels rough...
- "???%" progress
- negative/broken progress numbers (download/time/...)
- unclear error message when running without root permissions
- manually aborting download (^C) results in jumping to "Verifying PGP
signatures" which of course fails
- aborting (^C) mid progress breaks cursor
- dnf5 clean packages shows "1 errors occurred" but no explanation?
- I managed to break dnf5 with a std::length_error' error? (not sure how
I did that)
- it's less clear if a package is installed or not (there used to be a
list of what was installed/removed)
I know that this is a bit harsh and there's still a lot of time for
improvements and polishing, but are we sure that there is enough time
before the Fedora 39 release? Should this be postponed to Fedora 40 to
allow for more testing, migration of other tools and more?
