Description Brian Lane 2016-02-25 17:19:37 UTC
Commit 19766a601550a47234fe58abdb6afc8c637dc401 broke the dnf API for anyone using dnf.arch

This is not the right way to do this. You need to warn users before making changes like this, and at least provide a backwards compatible stub for minor releases. Breaking API in a minor version release (1.1.6 to 1.1.7) means that we can't trust your API to be stable at all.

Comment 1 Honza Silhan 2016-03-07 12:22:19 UTC
We have added this undocumented function back [1] to the non-API code to ease the transition. It will be erased in the next DNF versions. Please, fix lorax to use documented alternative [2] of this function. Reassigning...

Comment 2 Honza Silhan 2016-03-11 13:21:22 UTC
It seems that the import in Lorax is wrong. In lorax there are just `import dnf` statements. Previously in DNF and the same in compatible commit [1] the function is in a special file - which should be imported in Python by `import dnf.arch`. Previously it was internally loaded by DNF and that was the reason why it worked before. Nevertheless you should not rely on that fact. There are many Python nested modules in Python standard library which have to be imported separately when you need them.

To sum up. The compatibility commit [1] is not needed (and will be removed) as there still needs to be change in Lorax which should be done in the right way. Please, adapt Lorax to use correct API function [2] and do a release for F22+. Thanks.

This is blocking any release of DNF which implies it's a blocker for any bug report on DNF [3].

Comment 3 Brian Lane 2016-03-11 15:08:45 UTC
Well, the compatiblity *is* needed, you just didn't do it in a compatible way :)

So I guess I'll backport the change to all the places since that appears to be the path of least resistance at this point.

Please open a new bug for this (against lorax) and include the logs, especially program.log from lmc. It is likely to be a problem with the example kickstart.
