From a branding perspective, having the fallback hostname be "fedora" for an OS that is not Fedora Linux is incorrect. Go back to using "localhost" in those cases.
This reverts commit db19323db2.
Paths are adjusted. The condition is inverted to actually check the
right thing.
The test is moved before build to make it easier to see. Meson does
the .in substitutions immediately after configuration, so this should
be easier to see.
All scriptlets to disable services upon final package removal are
removed. Removing rpm from a running system is not allowed by dnf and
would generally result in mayhem. Trying to clean up our enablement
symlinks is not useful. Nobody tests this and it almost certainly was
incomplete.
Only do 'journalctl --update-catalog' if /var is writeable, and remove
suppression of errors from 'journalctl --update-catalog'. It shouldn't
fail, and it it does, we should figure out why.
On upgrades, execute 'journalctl --update-catalog' and
'systemd-tmpfiles --create' in %postun, not %post. This way we won't
look at possibly-about-to-be-removed configuration.
Restart various services upon upgrade: systemd-timedated.service
systemd-timesyncd.service systemd-portabled.service
systemd-homed.service systemd-hostnamed.service
systemd-journald.service systemd-localed.service systemd-userdbd.service.
Not doing this was a bug.
user@.service and systemd-logind.service will need special handling
and are not done in this patch.
Changes for https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/EnableSystemdOomd.
Backports primarily PR #18361, #18444, and #18401 (#18401 is not merged
at the time of writing this commit) + some minor PRs to handle conflicts.
Creates systemd-oomd-defaults subpackage to install unit drop-ins that
will configure systemd-oomd to monitor and act.
This patch enables support of the following options in
/etc/crypttab:
- no-read-workqueue
- no-write-workqueue
This patch corresponds to the upstream pull request that has been
merged and will be in systemd 248:
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/18062/
Sadly, this does not work.
It seems NM queries resolved for the local IP address and gets "linux"
and sets that as the transient hostname. Resolved has a "fallback hostname"
(that will now again be "fedora"), but it also has a fallback fallback hostname
that is "linux" that it used in reverse dns queries and such. NM gets
the "linux" name and tells hostnamed to use that as the transient hostname.
I don't think this is an improvement, since "linux" is a problematic
as "fedora". So let's revert this for now to avoid pointless churn,
until we figure out a real solution.
Unset fallback-hostname as plenty of applications expected localhost
to mean "default hostname" without ever standardising it (#1892235)
This reverts commit 6eb8bcde28.
DNS questions (which necessarilly include IP addresses) are personally
indentifying information in the sense of GDPR
(https://gdpr.eu/eu-gdpr-personal-data/ explicitly lists IP address as
PII). Sending those packets to Google or Cloudflare is "forwarding"
this PII to them. GDPR says that information which is not enough to
identify individuals still needs to be protected because it may be
combined with other information or processed with improved technology
later. So even though the information in DNS alone it not very big, it
may be interpreted as protected information in various scenarios.
When Fedora is installed by an end-user, they must have the reasonable
expectation that Fedora will contant Fedora servers for updates and
status checks and such. But the case of DNS packets is different,
because the dns servers are not under our control. While most of the
time the information leak through DNS is negligible, we can't rule out
scenarios where it could be considered more important.
Another thing to consider is that ISP and other local internet access
mechanisms are probably worse overall for privacy compared to google and
cloudflare dns servers. Nevertheless, they are more obvious to users and
fit better in the regulatory framework, because there are local laws
that govern them and implicitic or explicit agreements for their use.
Whereas US-based servers are foreign and are covered by different rules.
The fallback DNS servers don't matter most of the time because
NetworkManager will include the servers from a DHCP lease. So
hopefully users will not see any effect from the change done in this
patch. Right now I think it is better to avoid the legal and privacy
risk. If it turns out this change causes noticable problems, we might
want to reconsider. In particular we could use the fallback servers
only in containers and such which are not "personal" machines and there
is no particular person attached to them.

I think we could provide a default dns server list more reasonably if
there was some kind of privacy policy published by Fedora and users
could at least learn about those defaults. Sadly, we don't have any
relevant privacy policy (https://pagure.io/Fedora-Council/tickets/issue/53).
There were some things left in the main package that should have
been in the sub package (including networkd.conf). This is an attempt
to make the list of files in the networkd package more correct.
It explicitly tries to leave sytemd-network-generator and the network
targets in the main package.
This way, if one wants to opt-out of resolved, installing a preset
that disables the service is enough. Previously that would only disable
the service, but a dangling symlink would be created.
