tracker: package additions/removals for F41

[marmijo]

This issue will help track package additions and removals when compared to the previous major version of Fedora. Usually the additions/removals are a result of changing dependencies in named packages in our manifests. Most of the time the changes are intentional, but sometimes they can be unintended and we'd like to document changes and reasoning here.

Downgrade is https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2297094 which we should directly make a PR to fix as it's really minor and maybe we should just ignore it.

Removed:

• fuse is related to packaging/rpm-ostree.spec: Update to sync with rawhide rpm-ostree#5047
• polkit-pkla-compat removal should be investigated
• pigz removal might need investigation
• The firmware removal are part of the wifi firmware cleanup if I'm not mistaken so should be good

Added:

• qed-firmware is unexpected
• sdbus-cpp is unexpected
• the rest looks dnf5, docker or podman related and should be good.

[travier]

polkit-pkla-compat has been moved to a recommends in https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/polkit/c/f306ce1b70287b9d39e5961ca0703871edb179d5.

This is a good thing (I had suggested it in https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/polkit_recommends_pkla_pkexec which got rejected at the time).

[travier]

Firmwares are removed as expected: #1575

[travier]

qed-firmware inclusion is expected from #1746

[travier]

json-glib downgrade: coreos/fedora-coreos-config#3109

[travier]

Remaining:

• pigz removal
• sdbus-cpp addition
• tini-static addition

[travier]

sdbus-cpp addition

This is a dependency for dnf5.

tini-static

This is a dependency for moby-engine

[travier]

pigz removal

This used to be required by moby-engine but was removed in https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/moby-engine/c/8c217e23ac6fce73859022e3e6f8002d09e5324d?branch=rawhide.

Moby-engine will use pigz to decompress gzip layers faster when it is available so we should include it and the package should at least recommend it if not directly require it.

See:

• https://docker-docs.uclv.cu/engine/release-notes/18.02/
• Make image (layer) downloads faster by using pigz moby/moby#35697
• https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Amoby%2Fmoby%20pigz&type=code
• https://github.com/moby/moby/blob/c7e42d855ec41c28702a1f6f6c2c28ecc7bd9424/project/PACKAGERS.md?plain=1#L132
• Use pigz for compression in docker push moby/moby#41987
• Dangling Decompressor Processes (xz, pigz) moby/moby#38608

[travier]

I've filed https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2314398

[travier]

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2314398 is in testing. This should be done once this lands.

look sane?

[travier]

This LGTM. Thanks Dusty.

[travier]

Should we close this one now or wait for the stable release with F41?
