Comment 1 Orion Poplawski 2014-10-02 17:51:44 UTC 
Just in case you are looking to block the thin_* executables as well, know that in device-mapper-persistent-data 0.4 they have been re-worked to be much smaller and are links to pdata_tools.
Comment 2 Will Woods 2014-10-17 18:32:42 UTC 
This is fixed (in the master branch, at least) by commit 028b207:

  https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/anaconda.git/commit/?id=028b207

Should be a pretty low-risk fix, so hopefully I can get it into F21 and/or RHEL7.

Thanks for figuring this out, btw!
Comment 3 Orion Poplawski 2014-10-20 19:37:59 UTC 
Would be great to get this into F21.  I'm not able to do a text based install in 1GB RAM at the moment.
Comment 4 Will Woods 2014-10-20 21:24:56 UTC 
You could request a freeze exception if want it for Beta, but otherwise it'll land after that.
Comment 5 Orion Poplawski 2014-11-03 21:48:53 UTC 
Can we get this into the F21 branch now?
Comment 6 Adam Williamson 2014-11-05 02:29:28 UTC 
I don't see that this violates any release criteria - please provide a rationale for why this should block the release.
Comment 7 Orion Poplawski 2014-11-05 15:43:29 UTC 
Perhaps it doesn't - the effect is to increase the minimum RAM requirement for install by about 290MB.  And as an installer issue it can't be fixed post-release.
Comment 8 Kamil Páral 2014-11-05 16:32:32 UTC 
Discussed at 2014-11-05 blocker review meeting [1]. Rejected as a blocker, but accepted as a freeze exception. This bug doesn't clearly violate any criteria but would be good to pull in as an FE if it doesn't get pulled before freeze.

Comment 9 Will Woods 2014-11-05 18:49:52 UTC 
Pushed to anaconda f21-branch:

  https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/anaconda.git/commit/?h=f21-branch&id=9771245

should be in the next anaconda build.
Comment 10 Orion Poplawski 2014-11-13 15:28:21 UTC 
Confirmed fixed in anaconda-21.48.14-1
Comment 11 Adam Williamson 2014-11-24 19:59:03 UTC 
.14 went stable, so closing.
