Hi Jan, thank you for the report. Let me note that "dnf provides <filename>" already supports these kinds of queries. I wonder whether there is a use case where "dnf repoquery --whatprovides" is more helpful than "dnf provides" since I don't like these redundancies. On the other hand, I think the request is valid at least because it's intuitively missing in the "dnf repoquery" CLI. I'm just curious whether there is an important difference in uses of these two commands. Ah, I had no idea that dnf provides works this way, thank you for enlightening me. The only substantial difference I can see is the output format. Repoquery output is more suitable for scripts and it can be tweaked using --queryformat. I won't mind if the repoquery functionality is merged with other parts of dnf but in that case dnf should probably include some way to make the transition easier for users (as my ignorance demonstrates, users will still try to use the repoquery or dnf repoquery). I have a suspicion that man page might not do it in this case. When I am trying to get some information about package, for example to know where certain provide comes from: $ sudo dnf repoquery --whatprovides 'rubygem(spruz)' Using metadata from Wed Feb 25 10:39:29 2015 rubygem-spruz-0:0.2.5-10.fc21.noarch I would prefer to do minimal change to my query, e.g. this is first thing which comes to my mind, but doesn't work: $ sudo dnf repoquery --whatprovides '/usr/bin/enum' Using metadata from Wed Feb 25 10:39:29 2015 I probably don't want to change my query later to something like: $ sudo dnf provides '/usr/bin/enum' Using metadata from Wed Feb 25 10:39:29 2015 enum-1.1-6.fc21.x86_64 : Seq- and jot-like enumerator Repozitář : fedora rubygem-spruz-0.2.5-10.fc21.noarch : Useful tools library in Ruby Repozitář : fedora Not mentioning that format of "repoquery" out differs from "provides" *** Bug 1197054 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 1196952 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1196952 *** *** Bug 1248201 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
