Description Sinny Kumari 2019-01-16 17:36:08 UTC 
Description of problem:
One of the utility provided by xfsprogs requires Python:

/usr/sbin/xfs_scrub_all

In Fedora CoreOS we are trying to not have Python dependencies in base host. We make use of utility like xfs_growfs from xfsprogs. It will be nice if we can get Python dependent utility in a sub-package. This will help to not pull in Python dependencies where xfs_scrub_all is not required.

Also, maybe it can also be possible to convince upstream to rewrite xfs_scrub_all utility in C (consistent with rest of the utilities)?
Comment 1 Eric Sandeen 2019-01-24 23:00:46 UTC 
Yes, a subpackage is a good idea, thanks.  As for rewriting the utility ... probably not going to happen.  TBH I'm not sure why scrub isn't in C, but the chances of a rewrite are slim.
Comment 2 Sinny Kumari 2019-01-25 21:17:48 UTC 
Thanks Eric!

Let us know if you need us to send a PR for python sub-package split in rawhide/F30
Comment 3 Sinny Kumari 2019-02-21 12:36:25 UTC 
Created PR against F31 to move python utilities to separate sub-package - https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/xfsprogs/pull-request/1, after review is done will open another PR against F30
Comment 4 Eric Sandeen 2019-02-22 20:06:21 UTC 
Sooo apparently dnf requires python3.  Is the "base host" not going to have dnf?

No. It will use rpm-ostree, which is/was the basis for Atomic Host, and now Fedora CoreOS and RHCOS.

clear needinfo
Comment 7 Eric Sandeen 2019-02-22 22:27:57 UTC 
Ok, thanks for the info, sorry for not being up to speed on the project!
Comment 8 Dusty Mabe 2019-02-22 22:31:47 UTC 
No problem. It would have been a clear blocker to this effort if that were the case so it was worth asking :)

Hi Eric! to move forward can we get PR reviewed
Comment 10 Eric Sandeen 2019-05-08 17:56:09 UTC 
Ok, I split out an xfsprogs-xfs_scrub subpackage, with all scrub related files including those with python3 deps.
