Not even an install with all package groups selected (not including optional member packages) will install system-config-boot. It feels like users should have a GUI way to select which kernel to boot into by default in a default install. Also, it should probably be in admin-tools, instead of server-cfg.
I'm getting reports that this package may not work all that well. Have you tested it?
Not really, just a tiny little bit, and that appeared to work. But wouldn't that be yet another reason to include it while still in the testing period, such that it can ship in a functional state? Or perhaps in an update? After final ships, we can't fix its inclusion-by-default any more, you know :-)
This isn't the testing period. We've frozen for FC5 Final. I'm told that this application can generate a grub.conf that could be incompatible with grubby (used by kernel updates) or anaconda (used during upgrades). This isn't something we want to have happen, and it is really too late to introduce buggy applications into the default install. We should look at either fixing it post FC5 for FC6 or dropping it from the distro.
Fair enough. We should probably leave this open, then, and add the thing to the default rawhide install as soon as FC5 ships. CLOSED/WONTFIX isn't quite accurate, so I changed it to CLOSED/DEFERRED, but I really think it should be open and blocked on say FC6Target. Your call.
