r/Fedora on Reddit: Installing Packages on Fedora
November 24, 2024 -
Hi everyone,
so I'm pretty new to Fedora and Linux in general and I have some questions in regard to how packages and package installation work.
Firstly, when using #dnf install packagename can you assume that whatever repository the package is being sourced from, is safe to install from and how do I check which repositories that are being searched for the package.
Secondly, is it ok to assume that packages from online sites like koji.fedoraproject.org or src.fedoraproject.org are safe. It seems to me like not just anyone can upload packages there, but I haven't found a definitive answer yet.
Thanks in advance for the help!

Well the fedora packages repos are pre installed and those are the ones you use out of the box and they are safe, how to know the repo: when you type "sudo dnf install" dnf shows you the source before you enter y

Fyi Bodhi and Koji are the update server and the build server for Fedora so yes they are safe.

r/Fedora on Reddit: what is the best way to install apps in fedora?
March 1, 2023 -
I'm new to Fedora and so far I knew a few ways of installing application:
-
Use the "dnf install $appname"
-
Download the RPM package then "dnf install $the-rpm-package"
-
Use the flatpak
-
Use the tarball, extract then run the .sh file
-
And using appimage (Yup, I know this is not technically called an "install")
I'm pretty sure the dnf upgrade won't affect the appimage, but does it helps upgrade the apps from flatpak, tarball and rpm? if there are options available in all of them what method should I choose to install an app

Dnf upgrade should update anything installed through dnf install $package. I think it updates stuff installed from a downloaded rpm package. It doesn't update flatpaks, appimages, or tar files installed with make or a script, though. Flatpak stuff can be updated with flatpak update or through Gnome Software (which will also update rpms). I honestly don't know how appimages and updates work, outside of downloading the new update. For apps installed through scripts, check the individual repos for update instructions.
