DNF installs updates on Fedora 22 (Linux)
DNF ( Dandified Yum ) is a package management system that was developed for RPM- based Linux systems. The command line program can be used to search for, install and update RPM software packages. DNF has a plug-in interface to easily add functionality. It can also be used by other Python programs via its module interface.
history
DNF was created in 2012 as a fork of YUM3.4 and has been in the repositories since Fedora 18. In Fedora 22, the standard package manager YUM was replaced by DNF.
The source code is to be rewritten from Python to C.
