Has there been any attempt to add to a EPEL8 a graphical package manager, such as dnfdragora ? CentOS7, which I have used, had yumex but since CentOS8 uses dnf the old yumex does not work anymore. As I understand it yumex-dnf is no longer being developed and dnfdragora is the logical continuation of yumex-dnf. As a workstation user of CentOS I am not interested in having to use dnf from the command line so a dnfdragora for CentOS8 would be very welcome. Thank you !

To get a package in EPEL8, please open a bugzilla to have it put in. I just checked, and there currently isn't a bugzilla requesting it. It will also need the following packages put into EPEL8 to build and possibly run.
python3-cairosvg python3-dnfdaemon python3-notify2 python3-pystray python3-yui

I will open a bugzilla report. I did not realize that Red Hat bugzilla was the way to request EPEL packages. When I go there it is asking for a bug report for a component. What component do I choose ?

Interesting. I guess since it has never been in EPEL before it won't let you put it in as a component.

You can put dnfdragora in as a component there. Just make sure that you clearly state that it's for epel8 in the subject and body.

I created a bug report for EPEL using yumex-dnf as the component, since that exists in the component list. The bug report is at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1769168.

I've generally been happy with the gnome-software app.

I do not see in the gnome-software app how I can search, view, add, or delete individual packages, as opposed to software applications. Of course if you do not need anything to deal with packages themselves then I can understand that the gnome-software app is good for you.
