Hi.

I would like here to suggest on you adding "Advanced Options" in dailog of "User Preferences".

These advanced options should be "front-end" to "dnf-conf". For example: today I set my dnf to use fastest mirror. I enforced to edit system file by:

sudo vi /etc/dnf/dnf.conf
then added following line:
fastestmirror=true

It will be more covenant if dnfdragora has such options like:

  • set fastest mirror
  • number of kernel to be stay on system
  • Check GPG
  • Remove unused dependencies/requirements
  • & other options (that I do not know about them)

Also, you can make "Advanced" options NOT a part of "User preferences" but a separate sections under "Options", so that, when user click on "Options" she/he will see (one under other):

  • "User Preferences"
  • "Advanced" (or you can call it "DNF Configuration"

Also, it is useful if you add in dailog of "User Preferences" (but not within advanced options) an option to activate new feature (that I think you are already added) to make dnfdragora manage install of local .rpm package by double click on this local .rpm package.

Best

Best.

Well dnfdragora works using dnfdaemon so if a feature is missing we need to be sure it is implemented in dnfdaemon first. Repository management is at the top of our todo list, for instance to fix issue #66, but that needs a to work on dnfdaemon first.
I will exclude by now to have features that need to have rights escalation by using sudo or dnfdragora to be run as root only...
