One mentioned missing thing is that the gnome-shell does not understand dnf5 offline updates [1], thus it cannot show "Install pending update/upgrade" on restart/shutdown. This requires cooperation in gnome-software upstream [2] and then gnome-shell upstream itself. Do you know any other? It would be good to have them named, thus it's clear what to focus on. I may also mention that the behaviour of the dnf5 plugin is not precisely the same as the PackageKit plugin behaves, though that's probably a common thing. [1] https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/7784 [2] not necessarily this change, it's only a proposal to satisfy the [1]: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-software/-/merge_requests/2307 The other issues I know of are the GPG key import prompts - https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-software/-/issues/2874 - and the missing update notifications - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2392057 . I think GNOME Software is triggering a memory corruption bug in dnfdaemon: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf5/issues/2420. It's surely not GNOME Software's fault, and I'm not sure whether it's serious enough to be a blocker, but it's certainly not good. As I wrote in the upstream bug, I tried to reproduce it under valgrind, but it did not trigger anything. It was a rawhide machine, thus I do not know whether valgrind's slowness or slightly different versions made the difference. +4 in https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/blocker-review/issue/1902 , marking accepted FE. Okay, I'm on it. FEDORA-2025-7f21f13867 (gnome-software-49~rc-3.fc43) has been submitted as an update to Fedora 43. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2025-7f21f13867 FEDORA-2025-7f21f13867 has been pushed to the Fedora 43 testing repository. Soon you'll be able to install the update with the following command: `sudo dnf upgrade --enablerepo=updates-testing --refresh --advisory=FEDORA-2025-7f21f13867` You can provide feedback for this update here: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2025-7f21f13867 See also https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Updates_Testing for more information on how to test updates.
