compatibility with yum

The article should say something about the compatibility of DNF with yum. In particular, the article should mention commands and repositories. --50.53.54.81 (talk) 21:09, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

DNF does not stand for Dandified Packaging Tool (I have no idea how the editor came up with this). The Fedora Wiki as well as its Github repo, and the official docs have it stand for Dandified YUM^[1]^[2]^[3]

Future update for DNF5.

The gist is, DNF5 has given DNF a massive internal code rewrite. This includes a code rebase, new libraries, new internal resolution management and more. When DNF5 hits mainline (which is quite soon now), this page should be updated accordingly, as DNF5 is replacing DNF4. 2601:540:C700:42DF:76C8:5F43:53F1:5C95 (talk) 15:25, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
