Hi. I´m on AL2023 fully up-to-date with everything, but the DNF version is lagging almost 2 years behind (4.12 was released Apr 27, 2022).
dnf --version
4.12.0
Installed: dnf-0:4.12.0-2.amzn2023.0.4.noarch at Fri Dec 15 01:49:48 2023
Built : Amazon Linux at Tue Jan 31 01:01:11 2023
Installed: rpm-0:4.16.1.3-12.amzn2023.0.6.x86_64 at Fri Dec 15 01:49:15 2023
Built : Amazon Linux at Mon Apr 17 16:53:56 2023
I´m in need for a more recent version as it has support for auto-reboot via the config options ¨reboot/reboot_command¨
I´ve tried upgrading DNF using the nightlies as shown on the GH page (https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf/) but that didn´t work:
Error: It wasn't possible to enable this project.
Repository 'epel-2023-x86_64' does not exist in project 'rpmsoftwaremanagement/dnf-nightly'.
Also building from source didn´t work as it couldn´t even parse the spec file.
So, my question is: how do I get to a more recent DNF version on AL2023?
