This is a proposed Change for Fedora Linux.
This document represents a proposed Change. As part of the Changes
process, proposals are publicly announced in order to receive
community feedback. This proposal will only be implemented if approved
by the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee.
== Summary ==
Remove the entire legacy DNF4 software stack—including `dnf` (version
4.x), `microdnf`, `libdnf` (v1), `python3-dnf`, `python3-hawkey`,
`dnf-plugins-core`, `dnf-plugins-extras`, and `libmodulemd`—from
Fedora 46. Because `libmodulemd` cannot be retired while the legacy
`libdnf` v1 stack and related components import it, removing the
legacy package manager stack and auditing its consumers enables the
complete retirement of Modularity. System package management will rely
exclusively on DNF5, `libdnf5`, and `dnf5-plugins`.
Will there be /usr/bin/repoquery availbale from the dnf5 package? It's
currently owned by dnf-utils from dnf-plugins-core.
You can just use `dnf repoquery`...I got used to the switch a long time
ago now.
Sure I can. But for the sake of our users, we should provide backwards
compatibility command names (as we did with /usr/bin/yum).
Indeed. Our users, including ourselves. And last but certainly not
least, finger memory.
