Description Igor Raits 2023-07-02 14:17:44 UTC
From 5.0.15 release notes: Change default value for best configuration to true

Reproducible: Always

Here's the referenced Change proposal:

Here's the FESCo ticket:

Comment 2 Nicola Sella 2023-07-28 13:46:16 UTC
Hello, DNF5 is not providing fedora's dnf.conf file anymore.
To address this issue, we are adding support for custom configuration by using drop in directories. [1]

Since this change is only affecting rawhide, I propose to wait until the next week, when we'll release dnf5-5.1.1 in rawhide.
- If the pr gets in the release, I propose to change Fedora's behavior and override dnf5's.
- If the pr doesn't hit the release in time, I will revert the `best` behavior to False temporarily.

Comment 3 Fedora Release Engineering 2023-08-16 08:07:04 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 39 development cycle.
Changing version to 39.

Comment 4 Evan Goode 2024-04-15 19:06:24 UTC
This fedora-release PR will add a distribution override to set best=False: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/fedora-release/pull-request/331

I've closed fedora-release#331 in favor of https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/fedora-release/pull-request/332.
