💖 NAME 💖

dnf5.conf-todo — the options that are documented and implemented in DNF but not in DNF5, bestie. This is your little ✨ limbo list ✨.

🌸 THE VIBE CHECK (what this page even is) 🌸

Okay so real talk: DNF5 has some options that are not yet implemented or not yet documented. This section marks the config options that are missing. Some of the options might be duplicated in DNF5 Configuration Reference <#dnf5-conf-label>. In the event there are some duplicates, this section should be considered invalid and the option implemented and documented. If you find any issue, please, open a ticket at <https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf5/issues>. 🫶

This section does not track any deprecated option. For such options see Deprecated Config Options <#dnf5-conf-deprecated-label>.

🎀 THE OPTIONS 🎀

  • autocheck_running_kernel — boolean
    • Automatic check whether there is installed newer kernel module with security update than currently running kernel.
    • Default: True.
    • > Note: YUM compatibility option
  • logfilelevel — listed here, but this page gives it no details. It's just standing there. Menacingly. 💅
  • log_compress — no details on this page either, it's giving mystery ✨
  • transformdb — also undocumented here, iconic behaviour honestly
  • reset_nice — same deal, no description on this page
  • debuglevel — integer
    • Debug messages output level, in the range 0 to 10. The higher the number the more debug output is put to stdout.
    • Default: 2.
  • diskspacecheck — boolean
    • If enabled, controls whether rpm should check available disk space during the transaction.
    • Default: True.
  • exit_on_lock — boolean
    • If enabled, DNF5 will exit immediately when something else has the lock.
    • Default: False.
  • gpgkey_dns_verification — boolean
    • If enabled, DNF5 will attempt to automatically verify OpenPGP verification keys using the DNS system.
    • This option requires the unbound python module (python3-unbound) to be installed on the client system. This system has two main features. The first one is to check if any of the already installed keys have been revoked. Automatic removal of the key is not yet available, so it is up to the user, to remove revoked keys from the system. The second feature is automatic verification of new keys when a repository is added to the system. In interactive mode, the result is written to the output as a suggestion to the user. In non-interactive mode (i.e. when -y is used), this system will automatically accept keys that are available in the DNS and are correctly signed using DNSSEC. It will also accept keys that do not exist in the DNS system and their NON-existence is cryptographically proven using DNSSEC. This is mainly to preserve backward compatibility.
    • Default: False.
  • bugtracker_url — no details on this page, it's just on the list 🦋
  • history_record — no details on this page

  • upgrade_group_objects_upgrade — boolean
    • If enabled, performs the automatic running of group upgrade when running the upgrade command.
    • Default: True.
  • color — string
    • Controls if DNF5 uses colored output on the command line. Possible values: auto, never, always.
