That'd be either putting a wrapper named "dnf" in a directory that appears earlier than /usr/bin in the user's PATH variable (/usr/local/bin is suitable on my system), or by putting a wrapper anywhere that's not called "dnf" and using sudo to call that wrapper by its name.

In the interim, try "dnf -v" to get debug messages. You immediately get stuff like: cachedir: /var/cache/dnf Loaded plugins: protected_packages, copr, download, generate_completion_cache, playground, reposync, config-manager, builddep, noroot, needs-restarting, Query, system-upgrade, debuginfo-install DNF version: 1.1.10 ...

Probably closer to 1. Is this too long? Anyway, if you think this is a feature everyone would benefit from then you should use bugzilla to submit an RFE (Request For Enhancement) against dnf. -- Fedora Users List - The place to go to speculate endlessly signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
DNF suggestion
Hi, Would it be possible to make [dnf update] output something immediately after being run? And what would be the right course of action to get this feature implemented? I know it's probably a miniscule thing, but it's one of those small details you notice when shifting over from an apt-based distro. When running [apt update] or [apt upgrade] it responds instantly. I usually run it like [sudo dnf update] and when you mistype your password it gives you a wait period, but so does [dnf update]. So in a brief moment you're left hanging not knowing whether the password was incorrect or if [dnf] is simply updating. I know changing [sudo] to not give a wait period would be a lesser crime to some, so therefore I'm wondering if we can change [dnf] instead. If I'm addressing the wrong list, please advise. Also I'm not very good at C languages so I can't just provide a patch unfortunately. -- Ds ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
