Description : Micro DNF is a very minimal C implementation of DNF's install, upgrade,
: remove, repolist, and clean commands, designed to be used for doing simple
: packaging actions in containers when you don't need full-blown DNF and
: you want the tiniest useful containers possible.
:
: That is, you don't want any interpreter stack and you want the most
: minimal environment possible so you can build up to exactly what you need.
:
: This is not a substitute for DNF for real systems, and many of DNF's
: capabilities are intentionally not implemented in Micro DNF.
