Some of mine: - `dnf repoquery` -- Currently, `dnf5 repoquery` nowhere near meets the capabilities of the old version. This is the most important to me. - `dnf config-manager` - `dnf copr` - `dnf system-upgrade` - `dnf needs-restarting` - nice to have - Documentation for the Python API. Currently, the C++ library is documented, but the Python bindings are not. I saw someone else ask for this, and now I'm adding it to my blockers :). The current Python API documentation is great, so I wouldn't want to lose that. - A fully populated manpage. dnf5's manpage is nearly empty right now. Compatibility: - The `dnf update` alias is missing - `--refresh` is missing - The old dnf has some zypper style aliases (e.g. in for install, dsync for distro-sync). I don't use them, but I noticed they were missing. - I'm not sure what will happen with the old yum-utils aliases (e.g. /usr/bin/repoquery). I always use `dnf repoquery`, but I'd reckon that many others use the alias. -- Best, Maxwell G (@gotmax23) Pronouns: He/Him/His
