RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Davide Cavalca 2021-05-19 15:23:22 UTC 
systemd in c9s ships with oomd, but it's not terribly useful/usable without its config, so we should ship systemd-oomd-configs too.
Comment 1 Davide Cavalca 2021-05-19 15:24:40 UTC 
Put up https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/release-engineering/comps/-/merge_requests/42 to add it to comps
Comment 2 Josh Boyer 2021-05-19 15:47:05 UTC 
As mentioned on the MR, systemd-oomd will not be enabled by default in CentOS Stream or RHEL.  We can use this bug to add the package to the compose in other ways if it's something we're going to support at all.
Comment 3 Davide Cavalca 2021-05-19 15:57:39 UTC 
Thanks Josh, how about https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/release-engineering/pungi-centos/-/merge_requests/42 then to add it to the pungi config for the compose? This won't have any effect unless the daemon is enabled and the package is installed, so it should be fine to do even if oomd isn't going to be enabled by default.
Comment 4 Michal Sekletar 2021-05-20 09:43:10 UTC 
For CentOS Stream and RHEL-9 we are planning to put systemd-oomd to a subpackage alongside the default configuration. Package won't be installed by default and whoever wants it will get the daemon together with the default config after installing systemd-oomd subpackage.

In RHEL we want users to have the option to use it but we don't want oomd present in every environment where systemd rpm is installed (e.g. container images). Hence we need to move systemd-oomd daemon binary to a subpackage and then it make sense to also rename current config subpackage to just say systemd-oomd.

Davide, does this plan work for you?
Comment 5 Davide Cavalca 2021-05-20 15:10:41 UTC 
Yeah, that works -- if we're doing a subpackage for systemd-oomd, we can put the default configs in it too. Thanks!
Comment 6 Davide Cavalca 2021-05-20 16:47:39 UTC 
Put up https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/rpms/systemd/-/merge_requests/17 for this
Comment 8 Kyle Walker 2021-06-07 14:00:40 UTC 
Morning all, just added a note to the MR. Looks like there was a minor miss in the scriptlets being added (MR 18).
