Not quite. I have tested the patch in "Proposed solution 1" in the releng ticket and it works. The code is here: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf/blob/ 6517f47c94bdf2da2b1ce11605babee4d8cb8756/dnf/rpm/__init__.py#L29 If you set system-release(releasever) = value then 'value' is used instead of identifying the package version. If you see a logical mistake somewhere, please tell me. But in my testing dnf correctly used 'value' (i.e. 'rawhide') with this patch. > Hilariously, > PackageKit independently reads VERSION_ID from os-release(5) to > determine this.

I'll need to ask PackageKit developers to use the DNF logic instead of using a custom one. This is actually already "broken" - having two package managers, each detecting releasever in a different manner - it just has never been a problem in Fedora, because they've both arrived at the same answer so far. > > And how do you propose people sync down from Rawhide to "branched"? Again, it's in the ticket. Why wouldn't this work? (Once Branched == F29 and Rawhide == F30) sudo dnf distrosync fedora-release\* --releasever=29 > Or > sync up from an old Rawhide to "branched"/"stable" which this change? > >From what I can tell, that wouldn't be easy. > It should work with the same command as above, shouldn't it?
