DNF is using "/etc/dnf/dnf.conf" which is one reason more to
finally rename it back to YUM when it starts to replace it instead
demand users all over the world change working configs, but that's
a different topic nobody cares about
if other sofwtare like Packagekit ignore that global options of
the package manager just file bugreport for them
>>> I wonder if having a single packages.conf is THAT
hard!!!
for DNF, YUM, Packagekit and what not else?
surely, the same way hard to just proceed the configuration of
yum.conf, they all would needed to be changed
I'm fine with using yum.conf if everybody respects it, but I didn't
propose it because:
1) There are some options in yum.conf that DNF/PK doesn't recognize
2) DNF has some specific options in dnf.conf which yum doesn't
support
3) PK/GNOME Software have ... well I'm yet to completely discover
but at least they have some options controlled by gsettings! and
some in /etc/PackageKit/ which is completely unique to itself!
So, I thought that maybe every package *likes* to have its specific
settings method; and therefore I proposed to have a global
configuration which configures main package manager policy.
