Package: wnpp Severity: O For a long time, Fedora/RHEL/CentOS (and derivatives) used YUM as their default package manager. DNF is a feature-rich YUM fork intended to replace it eventually, using libsolv as its dependency solver, entered Fedora in version 18 as an option and has been its default package manager since version 22. RHEL 8, based on Fedora 28, also already uses DNF as its default package manager.
Debian already has packages for yum and mock. Building RPM packages on a Debian system is a supported use case already utilized by a (probably rather small amount) of users. That alone is normally not enough reason to introduce new packages, but newer Fedora versions use features like boolean (or rich) dependencies that are plainly not supported by yum. Building such chroots will flat out fail. DNF is now a hard dependency for supporting newer Fedora and RHEL versions. Without DNF, Debian would at some point lose the ability to be used as a build host for RPM packages.
