Development/ROSA FRESH Stability plan
Plan for ROSA Fresh future stabity and fixing
Contents
Moving /var/run and /var/log to /run as symlink to old place
Done: 80%
Reason: Moving this part to tmpfs need for upstream update
Problem: We need Usermode Change to properly work some instruments, like update, drakx utilites, etc
Solution:
Fixed filesystem package:
systemd:
Usermode change
Done: 100%
Reason: We need drop Mandriva changes and use more vanilla rules for Consolehelper. We need using vanilla config-utils, and Fedora-like service/utilites support.
Problem: Some tools, like update or drakclock need using running without root password and this not possible in vanilla code and drop mandriva-system-auth and mandriva-console-auth...
Solution:
We will need fix this package:
- drakxtools
- drakx-kbd-mouse-X11
- texlive-tlpkg (TODO: moving apps part to /etc/security/console.apps)
- rpmdrake
- drakx-net
- userdrake
- urpmi
- system-config-samba
- system-config-service
- mdkonline
- hplip
- drakconf-legacy
- gparted
- msec
- mdkonline
- kcm-rpmdrake-sources
More utilites/tools need using this PAM code
#%PAM-1.0 auth include config-util account include config-util session include config-util
But we need create file config-util-user with
#%PAM-1.0 auth sufficient pam_permit.so auth sufficient pam_timestamp.so auth include system-auth account required pam_permit.so session required pam_permit.so session optional pam_xauth.so session optional pam_timestamp.so
And using in this utils
- MandrivaUpdate
- xfdrake
- drakclock
- drakfont
- drakkeyboard
- drakmouse
- draknetcenter
- xfdrake
- urpmi.update
pam file
#%PAM-1.0 auth include config-util-user account include config-util-user session include config-util-user
pm-utils replace via systemd
Done: 95%
Reason: Using pm-utils now is deprecated. For acpi we need use systemd (poweroff, hibernate, etc). If will we try use both - will have any problems, like two step poweroff, sleep before poweroff and other. We need stop using pm-fallback-policy and replace needing rules by Fedora power.sh script
Problem: All DE need patching for using systemd. We will need investigate full drop pm-utils and pm-fallback-policy from repo.
Solution:
- In pm-utils spec pm-fallback-policy now as Suggest
- Acpid patched for using /etc/acpi/actions/power.sh and /etc/acpi/events/powerconf
- All part tested in KDE4, Gnome3 and LXDE
Package
- acpid-2.0.17-3 (in repo)
- pm-utils-1.4.1-7 (in repo)
Move DM to systemd instead init
Done: 100%
Reason: Using inti scripts for select and start DM are not usefull and provide more errors with syncing boot modes. We will need use systemd-releated way - install DM.service and create symlink to display-service for properly DM. Also we will need add presets for systemd for DM services. Now for change DM we need use or
systemctl disable xyz_old.service systemctl enable xyz_new.service
or drakedm
Solution:
Patch DM for use systemd and add services. Patch systemd. Drop lookupdm and prefdm from /etc/X11. In build ISO scripts add
systemctl enable xyzDM.service
Patch drakedm.
Package:
- GDM
- KDM
- XDM
- LightDM
- SLiM
- initcripts
- drakxtools
Drop Drakx-net part
Done: 90%
ROSA use NM. We need only clear Network (CLI) and NM. We don't need use Drakxnet anymore
Solution
- Full drop use drakxnet.
- Drop Mandriva network init scripts.
- Also some package still in use: drakproxy, drakfirewall, drakhosts.
- Fix hardrake to use NM.
- Move NM to rh plugin - use in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
plugins=ifcfg-rh,keyfile
Package
- initscripts
- drakx-net
- networkmanager
Drop ConsoleKit and PolicyKit
Done: 90%
Reason: Obsolete part
kernel 3.6.11
- Kernel 3.6.11 is prepared for update and is already on QA
- Main features are 3.6.11 usual changelog and broadcom driver fixes
systemd 197
- Disable uclibc by default
- Add if conditions for rosa2012.1 and possibly sync it to cooker
- Fix main bugs ( network, systemd-analyze crashes )
dracut
- sync the latest bugfixes
- enable hostonly by default
- set hostonly=no for iso build system
