Description Bogdan Dobrelya 2019-01-31 13:33:58 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1654659 +++

Description of problem:

When installing dnf into a container image, it is preferable to use the systemd_ordering macro.

According to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Scriptlets:
If a package is suitable for installation without systemd (in a
container image, for example) and does not require any of the
systemd mechanisms such as tmpfiles.d, then the systemd_ordering macro
MAY be used instead of the systemd_requires macro.

A PR against master https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/dnf/pull-request/14
and f29 backport https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/dnf/pull-request/15

Comment 2 Marek Blaha 2019-02-04 13:53:54 UTC

Please, can you create PR against our upstream repository https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf ? We are maintaining the spec file there. Btw, are you aware whether this %{?systemd_ordering} macro is also usable on RHEL 7?

Comment 3 Bogdan Dobrelya 2019-02-05 16:12:25 UTC

@Marek, will update the PR target, thanks!

I think adapting this particular change request for RHEL7 may be a good idea, but wouldn't buy a lot, as other components, like iptables, iputils, rsyslog, puppet and more things will still be relying on systemd via its RPM specs.

Comment 4 Bogdan Dobrelya 2019-02-05 16:27:26 UTC

Here is a new PR target https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf/pull/1315

Comment 5 Marek Blaha 2019-02-06 15:30:58 UTC

Thanks, I'll look into it.

Comment 6 Bogdan Dobrelya 2019-02-11 13:13:28 UTC

Closing because of https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf/pull/1315#issuecomment-462321911

Comment 7 Bogdan Dobrelya 2019-02-11 13:24:26 UTC

Folks, perchance, do you know if there is a way to fix that to allow dnf leveraging the ordering macro? For containerized OpenStack, we really do not want to pull in systemd & deps for all containers only because we install packages with dnf there.
