I guess the name 'dnf' is no worse than any others, except now it is going to make me think of a grammar-description language melanged with an M4 syntax construct. yuck.
dnf?
Hi All, FC22 had replaced yum with dnf. Same command syntax. I have used dnf on fc22 and rather like it. Will we be seeing it in a future SL7.x release? -T

If it were to be included in a future SL7 release, though, you would see it in the North American Upstream Vendor release notes for their release (i.e., you'd see it in the RHEL 7.x release notes, and then you'd know that SL 7.x would get it as a derivative of RHEL). Hope that helps, Jim
