I don't see any makecache service or timer in any of the dnf5 packages on Fedora 41. Is that intentional, or is it a regression?Undefined <https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf5/issues/812>.
The issue isn't the lack of the "--timer" option, it's the lack
of the scheduled service. I'm starting to see beta users discuss
that dnf is slower than it used to be, because it now has to
download metadata when used interactively, when it used to have
updated cache available. That seems bad, given the amount of hype
that has been made about making dnf faster.
I think you can use dnf5-automatic timer instead. If you disable downloading packages with download_updates=False in /etc/dnf/automatic.conf, you should get the same experience as with dnf-makecache timer.
That sounds more complex than making a copy of the old makecache
service/timer (without the "--timer" command line option). But
I'm not looking for a solution for myself, I'm trying to make sure
that Fedora works well by default.
I can't tell, because https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/ReplaceDnfWithDnf5 says that "dnf5 makecache" has to work, but it doesn't say anything about the timer being present.You are looking at a wrong Changes page. Current one <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/SwitchToDnf5>.
That one also doesn't indicate whether the makecache
service/timer was intentionally dropped, or whether this was an
oversight.
