[Yum-devel] DNF builds in Rawhide

[Ales Kozumplik]

Hi,

DNF is available in the rawhide repository now, hawkey has been since 
two weeks ago and libsolv has been for some time now. That means the 
entire stack is installable with rawhide repositories enabled (needs new 
RPM though[1]!). I'd like to invite everyone who is adventurous enough 
to give DNF a try and report experiences and post feedback.

You should be able to install, delete, update and erase packages. 
multilib_policy=best works, yumdb and basic yum history works now too. 
There is no plugins support yet and many commands are disabled at the 
moment, to be either dropped or fixed to work in DNF.

DNF is still experimental, it means do not trust it blindly, for 
instance by using the '-y' switch. Most often the worst that will happen 
is a traceback.

I am going to post to yum-devel with information about each new build 
and changes.

Ales
