Dear etckeeper developers,

Fedora 41 ships with DNF 5, and CentOS Stream and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 11 will ship with DNF 5 as well in 2027/8

Plugins need to be rewritten to keep working - including for etckeeper:

https://dnf5.readthedocs.io/en/stable/tutorial/plugins/index.html

(Python plugins are also now possible, the documentation is out of date; see e.g. https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf5/blob/main/libdnf5-plugins/python_plugins_loader/plugin.py)

Until then, etckeeper "works" in Fedora but requires manually committing; the automatic commit per DNF transaction no longer works.

As reported by a Fedora user: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2326283

Best regards,
