What did YUM get replaced with? I wasn't even aware anyone was looking to do anything with it. Never mind I found it. DNF, haven't heard of it before.
-
Yeah, DNF is new to me too. I suppose that we will see it in RHEL 8 now.
-
Does this mean CentOS will eventually drop YUM too?

CentOS = RHEL. So if RHEL does, CentOS does automatically as they are one and the same.
RHEL doesn't completely track Fedora, but pretty much. Fedora is a proving ground for RHEL. It could be that they show that YUM makes more sense, but it seems unlikely.
-
It doesn't look like it will change much. DNF is a fork of the YUM project. From what I'm reading on the Fedora wiki it will function almost exactly as YUM did but will be easier to incorporate in scripts in other languages.
-
YUM was never that bad to script. I wonder what they have changed.
-
As long as the RPM standard is being maintained, that would be hell to replace.
