Description Neal Gompa 2022-01-23 14:39:23 UTC 
rpmdb-migrate is a newly added (rpm >= 4.17.0-7) service which performs a rpm database rebuild at boot-time when /var/lib/rpm/.migratedb flag file exists (ie similar to rpmdb-rebuild service hooked on /usr/lib/sysimage/rpm/.rebuilddb). 

The immediate motivation is for performing database location migration for https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/RelocateRPMToUsr in a reasonably safe and controlled environment.

* Does the service require post-rpm-installation configuration in order to be useful (for example, does it need manual edits to a configuration file)?

No

* Does the service listen on a network socket for connections originating on a separate physical or virtual machine?

No

* Is the service non-persistent (i.e. run once at startup and exit)?

Yes

* What is the exact name (or names) of the systemd unit files to be enabled?

rpmdb-migrate.service

* Is this request for all Fedora deliverables or only for some Editions (list them)?

PR merged and released into Rawhide.
Comment 3 Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 2024-02-06 10:53:26 UTC 
Hmm, should this service actually be enabled in the default presets?
We already have a %triggerun scriptlet which enables it on upgraded systems:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/rpm/blob/rawhide/f/rpm.spec#_435
I don't think it should be enabled on new systems, since those presumably
have the database in the correct location.
