Description Nikolay Sabelnikov 2022-03-12 12:04:03 CET

is it possible to add dns support to mgaapplet? if possible, configure it to update packages whose reps do not support urpm

Comment 1 sturmvogel 2022-03-12 12:14:04 CET

Added link to dev ML discussion
Set version to cauldron as it is an enhancement

As it was already mentioned at dev ML, dnfdragora and it's applet serves dnf.

This looks like an unnecessary complication, given:
> dnfdragora and it's applet serves dnf
And as Nikolay himself has already suggested in another bug, if you want to have "packages whose reps do not support urpm", use DNF for those only, and rpm for the rest. That way they should not conflict.

CC'ing MagieaTools for comment, but I think we should close this bug. The requirement looks complicated; but may not be.

Comment 3 Nikolay Sabelnikov 2022-03-16 16:27:56 CET

if you use, purely dnf, then there is no need for urpmi.

Comment 4 sturmvogel 2022-03-16 17:55:16 CET

As you were already told in an other ML thread, it is not planned to move away from urpm. There is no reason for it.

Nor mgaapplet?
I think this can be closed as being too esoteric, especially in the light of:
> dnfdragora and it's applet serves dnf

Resolution: (none) => INVALID

Comment 6 Nikolay Sabelnikov 2022-03-17 00:14:20 CET

then you can try to configure packagekit to update packages using dnf, with rep incompatible with urpm.

Summary: add dnf mgaapplet support => configure packagekit to update packages via dnf.

Resolution: INVALID => (none)
