Bug ID: 480525
Summary: [RFE] Support for dnf5 backend
Classification: Applications
Product: Discover
Version: unspecified
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: discover
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: jkola...@redhat.com
CC: aleix...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
Hello,
I am reaching out on behalf of the DNF package manager team to initiate contact
and gather an overview of the current state and plans for Plasma Discover
regarding support for the dnf5 backend. Specifically, we are talking about the
utilization of the dnf5daemon component, which serves as the replacement for
PackageKit in the dnf5 package manager for managing RPM packages through
various GUI frontends using the D-Bus API.
Another reason is the Fedora system-wide change proposal aiming to replace DNF
with DNF5 as the default package manager for Fedora 41 (details here:
https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=Changes/ReplaceDnfWithDnf5).
As of now, we are aware of two related projects with some ongoing work:
- GNOME Software Center:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/mcrha/gnome-software/-/tree/wip/dnf5daemon/plugins/dnf5?ref_type=heads
- DNF dragora:
https://github.com/manatools/dnfdragora/blob/50f1162df883138f1b8b24a49f2182341c49c36a/dnfdragora/dnfd_client.py
I am available to offer guidance in implementing the new backend.
Best regards,
Jan
