Would you have preferred if I used a different superlative? I still consider 30% less to be significant, especially because DNF5 processes metadata in parallel which makes things seem faster, whether perceived or real. And yes, the other improvements are good as well, but end users focus on speed. See: constant discussions about how to make DNF4 faster (including enabling fastestmirror which can make things slower) or perception that it is slower because it processes metadata at a different stage than apt for example. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
