That change affects the core functionality of the system, but the description is missing some useful details that'll help evaluate the impact for people who are not intimately involved in dnf and packagekit: - Some details about which databases are replaced (e.g. paths in filesystem to the db), and details where the new database is so people can introspect this change more easily. - Does "enhances data integrity, safety" really mean that dnf and packagekit will show the same history and provenience of packages? (Or was the old db unsafe?) - Any numbers of the performance part? - Are new deps required in dnf or packagekit? Are any removed? - Will selinux changes be required? > == Scope == > > * Proposal owners: Port DNF to SWDB (patches has been already sent), Link? > Port PackageKit to SWDB Link to WIP patches? Incidentally, that GSOC page has a lot of interesting details, but it talks about F24, so it's unclear if all of it is up to date, and anyway I think this should all be part of the change page, not buried in links.
