I just spoke with two members of DNF team about default usage of DNF in mock. I
would like to share outcomes of this
meeting.
First I would like to state that you can already optionally use DNF in your
mock by setting:
config_opts['package_manager'] = 'dnf'
I've switched back to Yum for now.
I expect that we will be building Fedora 22- always by yum due to short Fedora
life cycle. Yum will be still present in
Fedora 24 for sure.
Is DNF within Mock a fully compatible replacement for Yum yet?
It seems builds take much longer now since something's downloading
(or redownloading?) lots of data for each build job before setting
up the buildroot. I don't have much time to look into it, bug shouldn't
Mock's buildroot cache files be fresh enough to avoid redownloading
packages, for example?
Redownloading packages is DNF default setting [1], which you can adjust
in mock config. I personally use caching proxy to avoid this problem and
share packages between multiple chroots.
Configurations shipped with current mock have keepcache=1 by default, so
the redownloading shouldn't happen if you have yum_cache enabled. But if
you use different configs than the default ones, you'll need to adjust
the config manually.
Technically, yum_cache wans't "ported" to dnf, but due to the similarity
of the two package managers, if the cachedir is set to /var/cache/yum
(which it is in the shipped configs), it should work without changes.
