Thank you for reporting this.
I cannot see yum in Cauldron/M8, suggesting it will be dropped. I *do* see it for Mageia 7, but in a generously furnished system, do not have it installed. But DNF is, and the shown /etc/yum/repos.d is not in evidence. Where does it come from? Yum, and just yum (Mageia 7). But for Mageia 8?

Academic. Assigning to Neal for dnf.

$ get_src_rpm bin/yum
  Looked for    : bin/yum
  Using         : /usr/bin/yum
  Installed rpm : yum-4.2.19-3.mga8
  rpm short name: yum
  Source rpm   : dnf-4.2.19-3.mga8.src.rpm
  Information  : https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf
  Packager     : joequant <joequant>
  Summary      : As a Yum CLI compatibility layer, supplies /usr/bin/yum redirecting to DNF
  List rpm contents: rpm --query --list yum-4.2.19-3.mga8

Before you ask:
$ type get_src_rpm
get_src_rpm is /local/bin/get_src_rpm

So I was a little overzealous with the yum->dnf migration stuff and goofed here. Fixed in dnf-4.2.19-4.mga8. Thanks for spotting! :)
