๐ Detailed Description
Yumex-DNF needs a replacement, since upstream stopped development[1]. With dnfdragora[2] we have a versatile (Qt, GTK and NCurses interface) replacement.
๐ Benefit to Fedora
Provide an up-to-date graphical package-manager to be used in spins and/or by power-users on Server and Workstation products.
๐ Scope
- Proposal owners:
- Adjust packaging of dnfdragora to properly obsolete/provides yumex-dnf.
- Other developers:
- Adjust default package-manager of alternative desktop-evironment's packages, if applicable.
- Make needed changes to kickstarts and/or comps.
- Release engineering:
- Merge changes to kickstarts and/or comps.
๐ Upgrade/compatibility impact
Properly obsolete Yumex-DNF and automatically replace it by dnfdragora using Obsoletes / Provides. Make changes (if needed) to the different desktop-packages used by the spins and make changes to the kickstart-files and comps for the spins.
๐ How To Test
Upgrade a spin currently still using Yumex-DNF to Fedora 27. dnfdragora should be installed automatically.
๐ User Experience
The impact on user expirience should be kept as small as possible. Integrate dnfdragora into the several alternative desktops as good as Yumex-DNF.
