dnf < 5 includes /usr/lib/systemd/system/dnf-makecache.service and ".timer"
to ensure that metadata is usually already cached when users run dnf.
I don't see any makecache service or timer in any of the dnf5 packages on
Fedora 41. Is that intentional, or is it a regression?
Undefined<https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf5/issues/812>.
The issue isn't the lack of the "--timer" option, it's the lack of the
scheduled service. I'm starting to see beta users discuss that dnf is
slower than it used to be, because it now has to download metadata when
used interactively, when it used to have updated cache available. That
seems bad, given the amount of hype that has been made about making dnf
faster.
I think you can use dnf5-automatic timer instead. If you disable downloading
packages with download_updates=False in /etc/dnf/automatic.conf, you should
get the same experience as with dnf-makecache timer.
That sounds more complex than making a copy of the old makecache
service/timer (without the "--timer" command line option). But I'm not
looking for a solution for myself, I'm trying to make sure that Fedora
works well by default.
I can't tell, because
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/ReplaceDnfWithDnf5 says that "dnf5
makecache" has to work, but it doesn't say anything about the timer being
present.
You are looking at a wrong Changes page. Current one
<https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/SwitchToDnf5>.
That one also doesn't indicate whether the makecache service/timer was
intentionally dropped, or whether this was an oversight.
