On a fresh install of F34 Server I see this: # LANG=C dnf list installed \*yum\* Installed Packages yum.noarch 4.7.0-1.fc34 @updates # rpm -ql yum /usr/bin/yum /usr/share/man/man8/yum.8.gz # ls -l /usr/bin/yum lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 5 13. Mai 16:35 /usr/bin/yum -> dnf-3* So, there's pretty little "yummy" stuff there. And what is there is not much more than a pointer to dnf. It seems, the switch to dnf you asked about has basically already happened. -- Regards mks _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users(a)lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave(a)lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure

Even yum's plugins and extra utilities are still a thing.

The 'yum' package and executable on Fedora is just a placeholder. /usr/bin/yum is just a symlink to dnf-3. There is no legacy yum code installed. The package and symlink just exists for people who are used to typing 'yum', or they use 3rd-party software that runs 'yum' instead of 'dnf'. You can remove the yum package, it won't change the way packages are managed on Fedora. It's just a helper package. -- Jonathan Billings <billings(a)negate.org&gt; _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users(a)lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave(a)lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
