[uyuni-devel] New RFC proposed: Migrating to DNF for managing RPM content
by Neal Gompa 04 Apr '19

04 Apr '19

Hey all, As I mentioned in my previous mail[0], I have been working on making Uyuni work on CentOS and Fedora servers. I was frustrated by the migration to Zypper, but now it became more serious than that. My recent experiments with integrating Fedora releases and RHEL 8 beta has become tremendously more difficult due to incomplete and improper handling of RH/Fedora modules. I've filed issues related to these two problems[1][2], but I've also decided to try to take advantage of the new RFC process introduced last month[3]. In order to fix these problems and to open the door to future features that would benefit people wanting to manage Linux distributions that use RH/Fedora modularity technology, I have proposed an RFC to migrate the underlying repository sync and dependency resolver code for RPM content to DNF[4]. The details about the proposal are in the pull request referenced. The highlights: * YUM is dead and removed in Fedora and DNF is officially part of RHEL/CentOS 7 now * Zypper and YUM both do the wrong things for handling new RH/Fedora releases. * DNF is available for SUSE distributions, with support for handling RH/Fedora modules * This should be a fairly painless migration, though there are a couple of open questions related to handling legacy metadata and some extra metadata. Please take a look! I'd greatly appreciate your feedback in the pull request.
