Automatic updates

I followed these steps but the verification steps seems to no longer be accurate:


~$ sudo rpm -qi dnf-automatic
package dnf-automatic is not installed

Is the documentation off? Should there be additional steps?

If I go by this the command sudo systemctl enable --now dnf-automatic.timer does not return anything. Is that expected?

Is this for fedora or for RHEL?

ah ok. I always believe them the same?

NOT
Some package names are different, documentation is different, repos are different, and some software from RHEL does not work on fedora.

When using fedora rely only upon fedora infrastructure since mixing can cause other (nightmare) problems.

Development and improvements in fedora may lead to improvements in RHEL but it is very much one-way in that aspect.

For dnf5 there is documentation here: Automatic Command β€” dnf5 documentation

You can install it with sudo dnf install dnf5-plugin-automatic
