DNF plugin to enable Copy on Write in RPM - Python3

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.

Versions, suites, and repositories

Each row is recorded package-index metadata for one version, architecture, suite, and repository. Names, URLs, and sizes are source-reported; a link is a potentially mutable retrieval location, not an OpenFactory redistribution claim or proof that OpenFactory retained the artifact bytes.

Checksums and observation dates

For an APT source, signature verification authenticates the repository metadata chain and the Packages index containing this source-reported artifact digest. It does not certify package safety.

0.0.4-13.fc43 / noarchObserved Sep 1, 2026 to Sep 1, 2026

Verification status: Metadata observed; artifact bytes were not independently fetched or hashed by this catalog import. The digest below is source-reported.

Source-reported sha256: 3ccf1afefa75dfa039a57e9a4f7863c5c8813993120413c5b7c2b33b120ccdc6

After downloading that exact artifact, compare its bytes with the source-reported expected digest:

printf '%s  %s\n' '3ccf1afefa75dfa039a57e9a4f7863c5c8813993120413c5b7c2b33b120ccdc6' 'python3-dnf-plugin-cow-0.0.4-13.fc43.noarch.rpm' | sha256sum --check --strict -

A match establishes equality with the repository metadata value. It does not establish safety or catalog-side artifact retrieval.
