Config Options that are deprecated in DNF5

DNF5 has some options that are deprecated. This section documents the options that are deprecated and will be removed in the future.

If you find any issue, please, open a ticket at https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf5/issues.

Warning

All config options documented here are deprecated.

[main] Options

strict

boolean

If disabled, all unavailable packages or packages with broken dependencies given to DNF5 command will be skipped without raising the error causing the whole operation to fail. Currently works for install command only.

Default: True.

Options for both [main] and Repo

deltarpm

boolean

If enabled, DNF5 will save bandwidth by downloading much smaller delta RPM files, rebuilding them to RPM locally. However, this is quite CPU and I/O intensive.

Default: False.

deltarpm_percentage

integer

When the relative size of delta vs pkg is larger than this, delta is not used. (Deltas must be at least 25% smaller than the pkg). Use 0 to turn off delta rpm processing. Local repositories (with file:// baseurl) have delta rpms turned off by default.

Default: 75

retries

integer

Set the number of total retries for downloading packages. The number is cumulative, so e.g. for retries=10, DNF5 will fail after any package download fails for eleventh time.

Setting this to 0 makes DNF5 try forever.

Default: 10.
