The biggest one for me is that offline updating - `dnf offline-upgrade` - still isn't implemented on dnf5. But I've run into quite a lot of smaller 'paper cuts', like `dnf history info <packagename>` doesn't work...just today I found that installing an older kernel doesn't work (older dnf does this just fine)...there are quite a lot of these at https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf5/issues . -- Adam Williamson (he/him/his) Fedora QA Fedora Chat: @adamwill:fedora.im | Mastodon: @adamw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx https://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
