- Update to version 1.3.4:
+ This version introduces the new DNF5 backend for distributions
that use DNF.
+ The "pkgctl" utility has been renamed to "pkgcli" to avoid a
name clash with an Arch Linux-specific developer tool that has
the same binary name. It is also now built by default.
+ Features:
- Build pkgctl by default
- pkgctl: Add manual page
- pkgctl: Add basic bash-completion support
- Rename the pkgctl utility to pkgcli
- pkgcli: Autoremove unused dependencies by default
- Changes to various backends: alpm, apt, dnf, dnf5, freebsd
- Drop PackageKit-1.3.3-Initial-DNF5-Backend.patch: fixed upstream
- BuildRequire pkgconfig(jansson): dependency needed for pkgcli.
- Add docbook5-xsl-stylesheets BuildRequires: new dependency
- Backport upstream patch to fix build:
+ 11c5f1f34f48b58ee10acec839dd01a31728704b.patch
- Pass -dlegacy_tools=true to meson: build the legacy tools
(pkcon/pkmon) for the time being.
