DNF manifest: A new way to replicate your package configuration, debug customer issues, manage container files and more
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.
