Yep, thanks, I just did that and upgraded gstreamer1-plugins-ugly package from Discover and it showed in the dnf 5 dnf history list last command. I still prefer the command line, it’s just nice to know discover will use the dnf5 too.
no promise about how GNOME Software gets to DNF5 has been made (not even in the F41 Change). Only an indication that work would be done on it.
For that, the SwitchToDnf5 f41 change mentions “GNOME Software” several times. In time of writing the proposal we (me and the dnf5 team) had been actively working on the dnf5daemon D-Bus API to satisfy the needs of the gnome-software. It resulted into a very good changes there, from my point of view. I added the dnf5 plugin into the Fedora’s gnome-software when it was ready, which was for f43. After that there had been discovered some leftovers, thus I’ve been asked to revert to the PackageKit plugin in f43, which happened, while the rawhide is still using its own dnf5 plugin. I cooperate with the dnf5 team (and the gnome-shell upstream) to fix the leftovers and keep the dnf5 gnome-software plugin for the f44.
I sent an awareness email to the devel list in time of switching the gnome-software. I agree, it’s not the same as a Change, though my understanding was that it is part of the SwitchToDNF5 change, I’ve been “only” late. I’m sorry if my point of view was too simplistic.
Typically Changes need to be taken literally unless there’s external discussion (such as in in the Change discussion thread) that indicates that more is going to happen. It didn’t happen in the discussion for that change (actually there was a concern that dnf5daemon might be problematic from a security PoV given the issues the SUSE security team found, but nobody responded to that).
So there’s no obvious inference that this was happening. Combined that Philip has indicated to me he would prefer that GNOME Software continue to use PackageKit instead of having dedicated package manager backends, it was not clear to me what way things were going. I left most of this out of the Change document because it was not relevant for the Change.
But people overanalyze and now we’re talking about it anyway…
