Available Packages
Name : python3-dnf-plugin-cow

Release : 4.fc39
Architecture : noarch
Size : 12 k
Source : dnf-plugin-cow-0.0.4-4.fc39.src.rpm
Repository : fedora
Summary : DNF plugin to enable Copy on Write in RPM - Python3
URL : https://github.com/facebookincubator/dnf-plugin-cow
License : MIT
Description : Installing this package enables a DNF plugin which changes the behaviour of
: librepo. Instead of downloading rpm files directly into cache before
: installation they will be "transcoded" into "extent based" rpms which contain
: all the constituent files of the rpm already uncompressed. This package
: depends on a version of rpm which includes /usr/bin/rpm2extents and the
: sub-package rpm-plugin-reflink which understands these "extent based" rpms
: and can install files without copying the underlying data.
:
: This package broadly assumes the root filesystem supports copy on write /
: reflink'ing. Today this means btrfs or xfs.
