I've made a few corrections to the article. If there's enough demand, I

Thanks for the heads-up for EPEL. I'll look into that.

Cheers,

Hi Nicolas,

I've already mentoned the EPEL issue in one of my post together with
another thing I saw:

'dnf check-upgrade' shows some .src packages in the list of updatable
packages.

Did you also see this?
