The fact that it's there is not really a guarantee that the release *actually* worked in those specs. I remember a few cycles back it still said 256MB or 512MB or something and I noticed and jumped through some hoops to get it changed to 1GB. So, as you discovered, it'd be better to actually *test* F27 and F28 in the same ways and see how they compare. openQA actually gathers some data on used memory, but unfortunately the numbers for the F27 release are lost (I didn't have things set up properly to protect release candidate results from garbage collection at the time). Logs of installer memory use in the 'compose check report' emails from 20171105 mention peak usage on the Workstation network installer as 582MiB , whereas the number from yesterday's compose appears to be about 850MiB. The peak usage is early in the run, which I think indicates it's occurring during repository retrieval. Combined with your numbers on PackageKit memory usage, that sorta indicates to me that something down in the stack that both dnf (used in anaconda) and PackageKit use is sucking up a lot more memory than it used to. That'd be worth looking into in more detail, if you can (I'm a lil' busy right now). -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ desktop mailing list -- desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to desktop-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
