Description Chris Murphy 2020-04-10 21:55:48 UTC
Description of problem:

Applies only to Fedora Workstation

earlyoom is not being pulled in when upgrading F30/F31 to F32, but should be. It is in clean installs but not upgrades (either dnf system-upgrade or Software). There's been some difficulty figuring out how to get it pulled in on upgrades. Current idea is a workaround by adding a weak dependency: supplements fedora-release-workstation
https://pagure.io/fedora-workstation/issue/138

This is an approved feature for F32 including upgraded systems.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/EnableEarlyoom



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
earlyoom-1.5-1.fc32.x86_64
fedora-release-workstation-32-0.8.noarch


How reproducible:

Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgrade f30/f31 to f32
2.
3.

Actual results:

No earlyoom package present

Expected results:

earlyoom package should be installed and running


Additional info:


If FE is not approved then upgraded systems will not have earlyoom, and will differ in behavior from clean f32 systems when in low memory situations.

Comment 1 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2020-04-10 21:58:20 UTC
Proposed as a Freeze Exception for 32-final by Fedora user chrismurphy using the blocker tracking app because:

 Having parity between clean and upgraded systems for this approved feature is desired.

Tested F31->F32 dnf system-upgrade and earlyoom is being pulled in, and after upgrade it's installed and running. Yay!
