Remove RedHat from HOWTO

[yecril71pl]

RedHat, or rather Fedora, has deprecated RPM and does not offer any support for it. Please remove links to RedHat and mentions thereof from the HOWTO document. (It is, however, unclear that we are licensed to edit it, otherwise it should not be distributed.)

Uhh, what? That not true. Nobody in Fedora deprecated RPM. Where did you get this information?

They say DNL is chad now.

Where? DNF is certainly far from dead...

By no means, and DNF replaces RPM.

[Conan-Kudo]

DNF can't replace RPM, it's built on top of it.

[yecril71pl]

DNF can't replace RPM, it's built on top of it.

That means RPM is needed only for DNF and DNF developers, so no RPM HOWTO is needed any more.

Use DNF Instead of RPM Whenever Possible

Any link to source? I am not aware of any such statement.

RPM

[ffesti]

This talks about users interacting with the rpm cli and advices them to use dnf as the higher level tool. This has nothing to do with the distribution still being based on rpm or not.

Closing.

[yecril71pl]

Since the user does not need to use the RPM CLI, there is no need to redistribute the RPM FAQ.

[pmatilai]

People need rpm and especially rpmbuild for all manner of things that dnf cannot do. Also, if you have an issue with Fedora documentation then the rpm upstream is not the place.

I admit I may be confused here. Is RPM HOWTO part of RPM or part of Fedora?
