dnf experimental

System packages for RedHat-family Linux (Fedora, RHEL, CentOS Stream, Rocky, Alma, ...).

toml

[system.packages]
"dnf:openssl-devel" = "latest"
"dnf:postgresql-server" = "latest"
"dnf:bash" = "5.2.26-3.fc40" # version or version-release pin

Behavior

Package state is checked with rpm -q (read-only, never elevates).
Missing packages are installed with dnf install -y, elevated with sudo when necessary (see sudo).
Version pins are passed to dnf as its native name-version / name-version-release syntax; a version-only pin is satisfied by any release of that version.
mise system install --update adds --refresh to force a metadata refresh; otherwise dnf manages its own metadata expiry.
mise system upgrade runs dnf upgrade -y --refresh for the configured packages — only already-installed packages are touched.

INFO

Only dnf is supported — not legacy yum-only systems. On RHEL/CentOS 8+ and all current Fedora releases dnf is the default.
