💖 DNFDRAGORA 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the dnfdragora manual page — section 8 of your friendly neighborhood man pages, no cap 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

dnfdragora — the DNFDragora Command Reference, aka your girl's whole command-line era 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

dnfdragora [options] [<args>...]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so. DNFDragora is a DNF frontend — and yes she's built on the rpmdragora code from Mageia (which was originally rpmdrake, and that was Perl, bestie, we've all been through things 😭).

she's written in Python 3 and uses manatools.aui, the widget abstraction library, which is the actual main character here — because it means she can run in Qt (PySide6), GTK 4, or ncurses. three interfaces, one icon, we love a versatile queen 👑

⭐ OPTIONS ⭐

  • -h, --help — shows you the help message, then dips. exit. bye 🫡
  • --gtk — start it up using the manatools.aui GTK 4 backend. aesthetic choice, respect.
  • --ncurses — start it up using the manatools.aui ncurses backend. terminal girlies rise 🌈
  • --qt — start it up using the manatools.aui Qt (PySide6) backend. sleek, iconic, expected 💅
  • --update-only — only shows the updates dialog. that's it. that's the whole vibe.
  • --group-icons-path <GROUP_ICONS_PATH> — forces a whole new path for the group icons (instead of the default /usr/share/icons). relocation era 🎀
  • --images-path <IMAGES_PATH> — forces a new path for all the images she needs (instead of the default /usr/share/dnfdragora/images). everything, moved. no cap.
  • --locales-dir <LOCALES_DIR> — sets the path to the directory holding the localization strings. ⚠️ developer option only — this one is for the devs, not for us, bestie, hands off 🙈
  • --install <RPM-Packages …> — installs local rpm packages. yes plural, you can pile them on 💖
  • --version — shows the application version and exits. quick little flex ✨

💀 BUGS 💀

not her being imperfect, she's just got lore 😭
