This bug is used for tracking bugs that need to be solved for MATE Desktop Environment in EPEL 9 (and yes, mate-desktop is not the correct bugzilla component, but the name is currently still the most suitable one).
Hi it is possible to add mate-applet-softupd it is a very useful tool for a desktop environment thanks
Wolfgang yumex-dnf is now back in active development https://github.com/timlau/yumex-dnf
