Is offline-upgrade option removed in dnf5?

Ask Fedora
1 
sudo dnf offline-upgrade download
Unknown argument "offline-upgrade" for command "dnf5". Add "--help" for more information about the arguments.

I have used this option mostly when I haven’t been updating my Fedora box for some time and there are many packages to update.

Isn’t offline-upgrade supported with dnf5anymore?

dnf5 is still in rapid development, so it might not have been implemented yet.

Thanks for the reply @vekruse!

I do really like this option and find it useful. So there might be a chance that it will be implemented later on? Let’s hope so!

Refer to pinned issues in the dnf5 repo tracking progress of the various commands.

Thank you so much for posting the link! That’s really helpful! I will keep an eye on its progress.

Edit: I see that there is already a discussion going on:

Since Implement system-upgrade and offline commands · Issue #1052 · rpm-software-management/dnf5 · GitHub is complete, what are the commands?

From the merge request linked on that issue:

For example, the process for running an offline upgrade would look like:

$ sudo dnf5 upgrade --offline mypackage
Updating and loading repositories:
Repositories loaded.
...
Transaction stored to be performed offline. Run `dnf5 offline reboot` to reboot and run the transaction.
$ sudo dnf5 offline reboot
The system will now reboot to perform the offline transaction initiated by the following command:
	dnf5 upgrade --offline mypackage
Is this ok [y/N]:

Thanks, @johnandmegh. I’d been unable to locate any documentation on it. Perhaps I should have read the man more thoroughly, but there’s a lot in there.
