the dnf-automatic command will be obsoleted.

https://dnf5.readthedocs.io/en/latest/changes.html does not say anything about automatic updates, and

https://packages.fedoraproject.org/pkgs/dnf5/dnf5-plugin-automatic/

simply suggests that dns update be executed from systemd timers or cron jobs.


dns-automatic provided a simple interface to a setup-and-forget automatic updates; will DNF5 leave it to be set up by hand?

I am asking because systemd timers have surprising behavior for suspendable systems, which leads to problems if updates are scheduled for off-hours.

My experience is that even WakeSystem=true does not make them reliable, but I am not sure how to debug this (because the system is suspended, heh).
