Hi, I've published on Debian mentors the corresponding packages: - libcomps - librepo - modulemd1 - libdnf - dnf There is mostly one commit above the source of Mihai with "Uploaders" field added. Lintian reports several things to improve but I would like to have some feedback/help on making this moving forward from Debian side first before doing any new moves. Also this set of packages relies on libsolv but the patch set of Mihai has been currently reverted (https://salsa.debian.org/debian/libsolv/-/commit/730e23a04b397cd8d8d28c8081e5ade968e04176) due to pending Debian strategy about global RPM integration.
