Hey Testers,
Tuesday 2017-05-20 will be DNF 2.0[1] Test Day!
As part of this planned Change[2] for Fedora 26, So this is an important Test Day!
Test Day will focus on testing DNF. DNF-2.0 is the next upcoming major version of DNF
package manager.
DNF-2 is the upstream DNF version, the only version actively developed.
Currently the upstream contains many user requested features, increased compatibility with
yum and over 30 bug fixes.
To DNF-1 back porting of patches from upstream is difficult and only critical security and
usability fixes will be cherry-picked to Fedora.
With DNF 2.0 in places,users can notice usability improvements of DNF like better messages
during resolution errors,
showing whether package was installed as weak dependency, better handling of obsolete
packages, less tracebacks, etc.
We hope to see whether it’s working well enough and catch any remaining issues.
As always, the event will be in #fedora-test-day on Freenode IRC.
