Description Bruno Wolff III 2013-12-28 17:48:56 UTC

Description of problem:
Yum has changed (in rawhide, 20 updates and 19 updates-testing) the default value of distroverpkg to a list: ['system-release(release)', 'redhat-release'].
The default for dnf should probably be the same to minimize confusion switching between the two. (Though in fedora there isn't likely to be an issue as redhat-release is provided and will be the same as system-release(release) if it is provided.)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dnf-0.4.9-1.fc21.noarch

Comment 1 Bruno Wolff III 2013-12-28 20:12:14 UTC

Another note about this is that dnf maintains its own version of _getsysver and hasn't changed to match yum's change to make distroverpkg a list. That would have to happen before the default can change.

Comment 2 Ales Kozumplik 2014-01-02 07:58:59 UTC

It's true, this poorly planned decision was implemented in Yum (without consulting us) and we let it slide by for the time. Will keep this open but giving it a low priority for now as nobody is affected by this.

Comment 3 Ales Kozumplik 2014-06-12 08:00:22 UTC

Fixed upstream by ba54035.
