Dnf list output

If I look at man dnf-list I do not see all information. When I type dnf list nextcloud* I see:

$ dnf list nextcloud*

What does “updates” main in this context? I just did a dnf up -y so it probably does not mean “there are updates available” .

That mean all packages are stored in updates repo

Please explain “stored in updates repo” . I understand the words “stored”, “updates”, “repo” but alas in this sentence they make no sense to me.

That exactly mean that all this packages are inside updates repo of fedora .If you run sudo dnf update --refresh you will see all repos what you have .

That means that the packages comes from that specific repository or it can be installed from that repository. In this case the name of the repository is “updates”.

Run

dnf repolist

to show the list of repositories available for dnf.

I apparently wronly asdumed that dnf up -y updates my system. Do I have to do add --refresh everytime? Will dnf-automatic do this for me?

Test:

j@ws-living:~$ sudo dnf up --refresh -y
[sudo] password for j:

No it’s up to you to update nextcloud-client to 4 do sudo dnf update nextcloud-client --enablerepo=updates-testing or to list sudo dnf list nextcloud* --enablerepo=updates-testing
