Description
DNF-3.5/3.6 is the next upcoming version of DNF package manager. Unfortunately, it brings some incompatibilities with the previous version of DNF (DNF-1/2) which were either needed to improve compatibility with the old yum interface or where bigger redesigns were needed. This test case isn't a precise step-by-step, but rather suggests several different avenues for testing basic commands, plugins and third party software.
Setup
If you are testing from a system you use for other purposes (which we don't usually recommend), BACK UP your important data. Every system change is potentially risky, be prepared.
- Optionally, install a current DNF 3.6.1 snapshot from this COPR repo - testing with both the current officially packaged DNF 3.5 and a more recent snapshot is useful:
dnf copr enable rpmsoftwaremanagement/dnf-nightlydnf update dnf
- testing scenarios:
- Modularity support
- anaconda installation
- upgrade from previous Fedora version
- core functionality: install, upgrade, remove, repoquery
- dnf-plugins: copr, system-upgrade, download
- third party software: mock, yumex
How to test
- Install updates from enabled repos:
sudo dnf update - Install, update and remove packages:
sudo dnf (install|update|remove) packagename
- A list of all commands is available here
- Testing yum2dnf compatibility:
- Run any use case you can think of using
yum:yum [option] foo
- Run any use case you can think of using
Expected Results
- If updating to a snapshot from the COPR repo, the repo should enable and the update install successfully
dnf updateshould update the system successfully- Commands listed at [1] should work fine
- DNF 3.5/3.6 should be able to handle yum operations
