Description Brian J. Murrell 2017-08-10 11:41:33 UTC

Description of problem:
The dnf package in EPEL is very old and doesn't seem to support using RHN, or at least perhaps if one is behind a proxy.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dnf-0.6.4-2.el7.noarch

How reproducible:
100%

Please update to something more recent, like perhaps 1.1.10.

Comment 1 Pat Riehecky 2017-08-21 14:16:59 UTC

Playing around on 7.4, I was able to do get the fedora rpms for:

dnf-1.1.10-6
dnf-plugins-core-0.1.21-5
dnf-plugins-extras-0.0.12-4
hawkey-0.6.4-3

to build.

Comment 2 Brian J. Murrell 2017-09-27 12:05:35 UTC

@Daniel Mach: Why is this CLOSED EOL?  What does that mean in the context of EPEL7 tickets?

Comment 3 Brian J. Murrell 2017-09-28 12:17:03 UTC

I don't see any reason why this should be CLOSED and @Daniel didn't respond to my request for an explanation why it should be CLOSED EOL.  Reopening.

It may be useful to know that the Config Management SIG of CentOS https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/ConfigManagementSIG packages dnf, currently at 2.6.3.

This hasn't been officially released yet, but packages are available at https://buildlogs.centos.org/centos/7/configmanagement/x86_64/dnf/

It means that DNF package in EPEL was retired. So no package, no bug ;)

Can I ask why it was retired and not updated?  Is it expected that one can get it elsewhere?  Is the one from the Config Management SIG of CentOS supposed to be used?
