Dnf defaults to 48h metadata expiry. Yum default is much shorter (I
found a reference saying it is 1.5h, but don't know if this is still
true).
You can set metadata_expire in /etc/dnf/dnf.conf - I dropped it to 6h.
/etc/dnf/dnf.conf
[main]
gpgcheck=1
installonly_limit=100
best=1
deltarpm=1
debuglevel=10
errorlevel=10
metadata_expire=0
metadata_timer_sync=0
Regardless, its output is still ugly compared to yum daisies.
Long live the yum!
