Examples of simple dnf5 / libdnf5 plugins

dnf5 plugins

These plugins are designed to add new commands to dnf5, e.g. in this case dnf5 foo command.

For debugging purposes, you can use the DNF5_PLUGINS_DIR environment variable to point dnf5 to the location of your foo.so file.

$ DNF5_PLUGINS_DIR=build/dnf5_foo_plugin dnf5 foo --test

libdnf5 plugins

These plugins do not introduce any new commands; instead, they are designed to modify the behavior of libdnf5 itself. They are executed regardless of how libdnf5 is used - whether through the dnf5 command-line tool or via API calls.

For debugging you need to

1. Create a plugin configuration file (e.g., baz.conf) and specify its location using the LIBDNF_PLUGINS_CONFIG_DIR environment variable.
2. set the pluginpath configuration option to the location of the baz.so library

$ LIBDNF_PLUGINS_CONFIG_DIR=libdnf5_baz_plugin dnf reinstall libsolv --setopt=pluginpath=build/libdnf5_baz_plugin --assumeno
