Re: "How can I run `dnf` command without updating repositories…"

In: s/Linux

I just want a distro that ~stable and includes not pretty old packages..

Maybe it's time to look at Arch also, but I won't play with system all the time but work there.

At this moment, I like Fedora in everything but this screwed dnf.

La actual versión de dnf (la 5) es más rápida que la anterior refrescando cache y actualizando. Los inconvenientes te los causa el HDD no dnf5.

You could just #RunBSD ;)

That's the nice thing about the BSDs, you can pick one for whatever needs you have. Lightweight? OpenBSD and NetBSD. More full featured? FreeBSD. Etc.

How can I run `dnf` command without updating repositories cache all the time: [bash] I turned the web upside down, tried -C command, added alias to .bashrc, tried to add `check_config_file_age=False` and `metadata_expire=-1` to `/etc/dnf/dnf.conf`but nothing helps - still same message on every dnf install run: [bash] Madness! I never encountered this problem on Debian, but I want to use Fedora because of the Clang bindings, which I need for development.
