What's the concern with just making these radical changes for yum 4.0? Fedora has got to be the largest yum user. Why isn't someone at Redhat/Fedora stepping up and just setting the direction for yum instead of forking it.
That would seem to be an unfortunate name for a package manager. :rolleyes:
^ HA! I thought it was Duke Nukem Forever.
Do they say somewhere, what it stands for? :confused:Quote:

Note about the name "DNF": it has no relevant meaning, meant as a project name only. Since DNF is a tech preview in Fedora 18 the Python module names can not be 'yum.*' as that would clash with yum itself.
This DNF package manager can be used on openSUSE, Gentoo and Ubuntu too?
I expect I'll be sticking with using the rpm command directly then.
That's exactly what they're doing, they just gave the beta a new name so people could test it more easily.Quote:
