fnd

utility for DNF

---

Compilation

make build   # (to produce the executable)
make clean   # (to delete  the executable)
make rebuild # (to delete  and reproduce the executable)

Commands

fbd update

Runs the full update flow:

• Checks for available updates
• Prompts for a local or an offline update
  • local — local updating preforms transactions while the system is up
  • offline — offline updating requires a reboot, which then boots into upgrade.target and preforms the transactions (recommended for kernel, libc, systemd and drivers)
• Clears the DNF package cache only after the fourth full system update
• Removes orphaned packages
• If an offline update was staged, prompts to reboot and apply (it doesn't have to be applied immeditely)

fnd package <flag> <package>

Available flags:

Flag	Description
-f	Files this package installs
-m	Package metadata
-d	Dependencies the package requires to run
-r	Packages that require it
-o	Package that owns a given file

The system first checks if the package is installed, if it is, it queries using rpm otherwise it uses dnf

Example:

fnd package -d bash # returns packages bash needs, example output: libc.so.6, rpmlib, rtld	
fnd package -o /usr/bin/ls # returns coreutils-9 as the owner
