View source for Development/ROSA FRESH Stability plan

Plan for ROSA Fresh future stabity and fixing


===Usermode change===
'''Done:''' 100%

'''Reason:''' We need drop Mandriva changes and use more vanilla rules for Consolehelper. We need using vanilla config-utils, and Fedora-like service/utilites support. 

'''Problem:''' Some tools, like update or drakclock need using running without root password and this not possible in vanilla code and drop mandriva-system-auth and mandriva-console-auth...

'''Solution:'''

We will need fix this package:

* drakxtools
* drakx-kbd-mouse-X11
* texlive-tlpkg (TODO: moving apps part to /etc/security/console.apps)
* rpmdrake
* drakx-net
* userdrake
* urpmi
* system-config-samba
* system-config-service
* mdkonline
* hplip
* drakconf-legacy
* gparted
* msec
* mdkonline
* kcm-rpmdrake-sources

More utilites/tools need using this PAM code

 #%PAM-1.0
 auth		include		config-util
 account		include		config-util
 session		include		config-util

But we need create file '''config-util-user''' with

 #%PAM-1.0
 auth 		sufficient	pam_permit.so
 auth		sufficient	pam_timestamp.so
 auth		include		system-auth
 account		required	pam_permit.so
 session		required	pam_permit.so
 session		optional	pam_xauth.so
 session		optional	pam_timestamp.so

And using in this utils

* MandrivaUpdate
* xfdrake
* drakclock
* drakfont
* drakkeyboard
* drakmouse
* draknetcenter
* xfdrake
* urpmi.update
* os-prober
* kcm-grub

pam file

 #%PAM-1.0
 auth		include		config-util-user
 account		include		config-util-user
 session		include		config-util-user

also we need  use USER=root in all console.apps files.

===pm-utils replace via systemd===
'''Done:''' 95%

'''Reason:''' Using '''pm-utils''' now is deprecated. For acpi we need use systemd (poweroff, hibernate, etc). If will we  try use both - will have any problems, like two step poweroff, sleep before poweroff and other. We need stop using pm-fallback-policy and replace needing rules by Fedora power.sh script

'''Problem:''' All DE need patching for using systemd. We will need investigate full drop '''pm-utils''' and '''pm-fallback-policy''' from repo.

'''Solution:'''
* In '''pm-utils''' spec '''pm-fallback-policy''' now as Suggest
* Acpid patched for using ''/etc/acpi/actions/power.sh'' and /etc/acpi/events/powerconf
* All part tested in KDE4, Gnome3 and LXDE
* Drop pm-utils requires
* Patch upower for use systemd

'''Package'''
* acpid-2.0.17-3 (in repo)
* pm-utils-1.4.1-7 (in repo)
* upower
* kdebase4-workspace
*

pm-utils fix for backward compartibility

===Move DM to systemd instead init===
'''Done:''' 100%

'''Reason:''' Using inti scripts for select and start DM are not usefull and provide more errors with syncing boot modes. We will need use systemd-releated way - install DM.service and create symlink to display-service for properly DM. Also we will need add presets for systemd for DM services. Now for change DM we need use or

 systemctl disable xyz_old.service
 systemctl enable xyz_new.service

or drakedm

'''Solution:'''

Patch DM for use systemd and add services. Patch systemd. Drop lookupdm and prefdm from /etc/X11. In build ISO scripts add 

 systemctl enable xyzDM.service

Patch drakedm.

'''Package:'''

* GDM
* KDM
* XDM
* LightDM
* SLiM
* initcripts
* drakxtools

=== Drop Drakx-net part ===
'''Done:''' 90%

'''Reason:''' ROSA use NM. We need only clear Network (CLI) and NM. We don't need use Drakxnet anymore

'''Solution:'''
* Full drop use drakxnet. 
* Drop Mandriva network init scripts. 
* Also some package still in use: drakproxy, drakfirewall, drakhosts. 
* Fix hardrake to use NM. 
* Move NM to rh plugin - use in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
 
 plugins=ifcfg-rh,keyfile

'''Package:'''
* initscripts
* drakx-net
* networkmanager

=== Drop ConsoleKit and PolicyKit===

'''Done:''' 90%

'''Reason:''' Obsolete part

'''Solution:''' 
* Drop consolekit in accountservice and x11 package. 
* Drop related to policykit parts. 
* Don't use Consolekit and Policykit in ISO (drop consolekit, consolekit-x11, policykit).
* Add accountservice to systemd presets

'''Packages:'''
* accountsservice
* xinit
* python-slip
* systemd

===kernel 3.8.12===
* Kernel 3.8.12 is prepared for update and is already on QA
* 3.8.12 is close to 3.9 patchset
* disabled zswap and BFQ to provide better stability
* improved hardware support
* updated proprietary driver stack

===systemd 194===
* patched for better greeter support

===dracut===
* sync to the 27 version ( better 3.8 kernel support and some bugfixes)
* enable hostonly by default
* set hostonly=no for iso build system
* text boot theme is default for live boot and install boot

===azure===
* built azure CLI client for ROSA
* build WAlinuxagent for ROSA
* kernel updated to 3.8 version ( better hyperv support )
