Well, an easy solution is to make it so "dnf update" is coerced to "dnf distro-sync" for development releases. Then it doesn't matter. We could make that happen for Fedora 41 with the DNF 5 transition (there's already code to make this possible with PackageKit with the current DNF backend, it needs to be migrated into DNF 5). Disabling updates-testing is a bad plan, because we want updates more aggressively tested during the development cycle. -- 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, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
