Description of problem: In URPMI, it's possible to have README.urpmi %doc files that get shown post-transaction to inform the user of additional required steps. It'd be great if a similar system existed in DNF (either in the core or as a plugin) so that a continuity of functionality is possible. The current functionality in URPMI is as follows: README.urpmi: always displayed README.install.urpmi: displayed when first installing README.(update|upgrade).urpmi (or README.upgrade.urpmi): always displayed when updating the package README.<EVR>.(update|upgrade).urpmi: displayed when updating the package from a version strictly older than the given EVR Note: <EVR> can be epoch:version-release, epoch:version, version-release, or version. Shortest wins. I would propose that we add support for a README.RPM filename that operates on the same behavior. I feel like this is possible as a plugin, but I'm not sure if our plugin hooks are granular enough... Additional info: This behavior is documented here: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Packagers_RPM_tutorial#Interaction_with_urpmi_and_rpmdrake
Moving to dnf5 since that's where feature development is.
I don't think Fedora is interested in this Feature. Especially because it prefers silent installation. E.g. it does not show RPM scriptlet output.
And yet our own documentation says we're supposed to make these files for documenting stuff like this that is Fedora specific or package specific. How are people supposed to find them without some kind of information?
