Aren't some Fedora spins still using Initial Setup (not to be confused with Gnome Initial Setup) ? That would get it removed as well, if the anaconda package is uninstaled. But I guess this new tool could be hooked only after Initial Setup has finished running during the first boot - by which point it should by fine to remove Anaconda & Initial Setup from the system. > > == Scope == > * Proposal owners: > ** Add {{package|fedora-autofirstboot}} to the desktop kickstarts > ** Add a preset to {{package|fedora-release}} for > <code>fedora-autofirstboot.service</code> > > * Other developers: N/A (not needed for this Change) > > * Release engineering: [https://pagure.io/releng/issue/11148 #11148] > * Policies and guidelines: N/A (not needed for this Change) > * Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change) > * Alignment with Objectives: N/A > > > == Upgrade/compatibility impact == > This will have no impact on upgraded systems, since the firstboot > condition is not true in that case. > > > == How To Test == > > # Install Fedora Workstation, KDE, etc. > # Reboot into installed environment > # Check to see <code>openh264</code> is installed and > <code>anaconda-core</code> is not. > > == User Experience == > The first boot will be slightly slower because of these tasks > running, > though they should happily run in the background as other services > start up, so it should not be noticeable. > > == Dependencies == > The main dependency is {{package|fedora-release}}, though we will > need > to ensure all {{package|udisks2}} plugins get pulled in as > dependencies for {{package|gnome-disks}} and {{package|blivet-gui}} > so > they don't get uninstalled when Anaconda is. > > > == Contingency Plan == > * Contingency mechanism: Remove {{package|fedora-autofirstboot}} from > the kickstarts > * Contingency deadline: Final freeze > * Blocks release?
