Fedora installation instructions recommend dnf install task, which installs Taskwarrior and ssl certificate while Installing go-task #3052

Description

Fedora installation instructions recommend task, which installs Taskwarrior

I'm using Fedora 44 and followed the Fedora installation instructions from the Task website.

The documentation recommends:

sudo dnf install task

However, on Fedora this installs Taskwarrior, not Go Task.

The installed package is:

task-3.4.2-3.fc44

which is the Taskwarrior package.

The correct package for Go Task on Fedora appears to be:

sudo dnf install go-task

This is the package I expected the documentation to recommend.

The current package-name collision is particularly confusing because both projects expose a binary named task.

Additional issue with go-task

When I tried installing the correct Fedora package:

sudo dnf install go-task

DNF attempted to refresh the Task Cloudsmith repositories and failed with:

Curl error (77): Problem with the SSL CA cert (path? access rights?)
error adding trust anchors from file: /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt

The affected repositories are:

task-task
task-task-noarch
task-task-source

For example:

https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/task/task/rpm/fedora/44/

The error occurs while loading repository metadata.

Environment

• Fedora 44
• x86_64
• DNF
• Task repository: Cloudsmith
• Go Task package: go-task
• Taskwarrior package: task

Steps to reproduce

Install the package currently recommended by the Fedora instructions:

sudo dnf install task

This installs Taskwarrior instead of Go Task.

Then try installing the Go Task package:

sudo dnf install go-task

DNF attempts to refresh the Task Cloudsmith repositories and reports:

Curl error (77): Problem with the SSL CA cert (path? access rights?)
error adding trust anchors from file: /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt

Suggested documentation change

For Fedora, explicitly recommend:

sudo dnf install go-task

instead of:

sudo dnf install task

or otherwise make the distinction between the task (Taskwarrior) and go-task (Task runner) packages clear.

The current package-name collision makes the Fedora installation instructions easy to misinterpret.
