<div dir="ltr"><div>DNF 2.0 is in the Fedora rawhide build if you want to check it out.<br><br></div>One interesting bit of trivia - DNF supports using TOR for metadata and package downloads. But if someone's sniffing your traffic to the level that they want to find out what you've got installed and you're trying to actively prevent that, then I'll bet you have bigger problems to worry about.<br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Wed, Oct 19, 2016 at 7:16 AM Jim Kinney <<a href="mailto:jim.kinney@gmail.com">jim.kinney@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><p dir="ltr" class="gmail_msg">Dnf is a substantial upgrade/rewrite to yum.

<br class="gmail_msg">
1. Why did Fedora/Red Hat decide to change yum to dnf? I am used to seeing<br class="gmail_msg">
"dnf" in the agate results of a car race, where it means "Did Not Finish."<br class="gmail_msg">
<br class="gmail_msg">
2. After installing or updating a package I always run yum (now dnf) clean<br class="gmail_msg">
all. On this new Fedora 24 install the routine always returns "52 files<br class="gmail_msg">
removed." It seems really odd to me that regardless of how much or how little<br class="gmail_msg">
has been downloaded and installed, <clean all> always removes the same number<br class="gmail_msg">
of files. Any clues on what might actually be going on here?<br class="gmail_msg">
