Just in case you are looking to block the thin_* executables as well, know that in device-mapper-persistent-data 0.4 they have been re-worked to be much smaller and are links to pdata_tools.
This is fixed (in the master branch, at least) by commit 028b207: https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/anaconda.git/commit/?id=028b207 Should be a pretty low-risk fix, so hopefully I can get it into F21 and/or RHEL7. Thanks for figuring this out, btw!
Would be great to get this into F21. I'm not able to do a text based install in 1GB RAM at the moment.
You could request a freeze exception if want it for Beta, but otherwise it'll land after that.
Can we get this into the F21 branch now?
I don't see that this violates any release criteria - please provide a rationale for why this should block the release.
Perhaps it doesn't - the effect is to increase the minimum RAM requirement for install by about 290MB. And as an installer issue it can't be fixed post-release.
Discussed at 2014-11-05 blocker review meeting [1]. Rejected as a blocker, but accepted as a freeze exception. This bug doesn't clearly violate any criteria but would be good to pull in as an FE if it doesn't get pulled before freeze. [1] http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2014-11-05/
Pushed to anaconda f21-branch: https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/anaconda.git/commit/?h=f21-branch&id=9771245 should be in the next anaconda build.
Confirmed fixed in anaconda-21.48.14-1
.14 went stable, so closing.
