So I think F28/F29 would be best time for retiring YUM. Right now DNF
should be already stable and provide same capabilities (or documented
that something will not be supported).
Hopefully infrastructure / rel-eng folks will finally add support for
rich dependencies[0] which would mean that yum will not work in Fedora
anyway, so..
Do you still have some critical missing functionality in DNF? And let
us know reasons why would you like to keep YUM available (hopefully
there are no)!
There is one other feature I just recalled: arbitrary yum vars for
substitution. DNF only supports substituting releasever and basearch,
while yum allowed for you to define custom variables in /etc/yum/vars.
Scientific Linux and a few other distributions depend on it, and there
are people who use it in local installations for offering things like
login credentials, applicaton tokens, and things like that for secure
repository access.
Hi
What I see critical on this plan is - when I use Rawhide daily it's not
uncommon totally UNTESTED dnf lands in repo - and yum is then the only
'easy' way to handle such case without any complexity.
So will be there ANY protection to insert untested core package like dnf is
into repo which is IN USE by users ??
Not to mentioning - yum had at least 'yum-complete-transaction' while dnf
is basically useless when upgrade transaction is aborted for whatever reason
you can think of....
