Abstract

Managing packages across systems and containers can be complex, especially when debugging issues or ensuring consistent deployments.

This short presentation introduces the manifest plugin for the DNF package manager, a tool that simplifies such workflows by capturing system package states into YAML-based manifest files. These files enable users to replicate environments, debug customer issues by mirroring setups, and streamline container builds with transparent, manifest-driven package management.
