The intent with the next major version of DNF is to drop Python and glib2 from the dependency chain for a minimal container environment. The new Micro DNF is written in C++ and is getting the functionality from DNF itself ported to it (including a helper to load Python based plugins so that the main tool can be in C++). The goal of the DNF team is to eliminate all the differences between DNF and Micro DNF for v5 and have a unified C++ DNF tool. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
