I tend to agree, but I think the reason is historical. IIRC at one time there was a distinction in "yum" between the two terms (which reflect a distinction in the apt universe, which still AFAIK persists), but for some time now that distinction has disappeared, i.e. yum and dnf both treat the two terms as equivalent. It's unfortunate, but there it is. poc _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-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/users@lists.fedoraproject.org
