Wiki - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Deprecate_Zezere Discussion thread - This is a proposed Change for Fedora Linux. This document represents a proposed Change. As part of the Changes process, proposals are publicly announced in order to receive community feedback. This proposal will only be implemented if approved by the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee. == Summary == Deprecate use of the {{package|Zezere}} provisioning server, currently used to configure Fedora IoT devices. == Owner == * Name: [[User: pwhalen| Paul Whalen]] * Email: pwhalen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx * Name: Fedora IoT SIG == Detailed Description == Currently, Fedora IoT users can add an SSH key to the root user account using the Zezere provisioning tool. While convenient for most use cases, users have given feedback that this does not work for all. In Fedora 42 we plan to deprecate the Zezere provisioning server in favour of offering a local means for user configuaration - `systemd-firstboot` - as well as the existing options of `FDO` or `ignition`. == Feedback == == Benefit to Fedora == The Zezere provisioning tool has not worked well for all Fedora IoT users. Deprecation will allow us to replace this configuration method with something that is more robust, well tested and already installed by default with `systemd`. == Scope == * Proposal owners: ** Remove Zezere from the installed packages, enable `systemd-firstboot` and ensure its compatible with IoT systems ** Document the change * Other developers: N/A * Release engineering: [https://pagure.io/releng/issues #Releng issue number] * Policies and guidelines: N/A (not needed for this Change) * Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change) * Alignment with the Fedora Strategy: == Upgrade/compatibility impact == None. == Early Testing (Optional) == == How To Test == To test, users will need to provision a new Fedora IoT system after the change is made to enable `systemd-firstboot`. == User Experience == Users who have been unable to use Zezere will have an easier and more straight forward way to configure their system resulting in less frustration during the critical first boot experience. == Dependencies == == Contingency Plan == * Contingency mechanism: Continue to include Zezere as we do today. == Documentation == * Fedora IoT Getting started guide will be updated to reflect the change and new configuration option. == Release Notes == -- Aoife Moloney Fedora Operations Architect Fedora Project Matrix: @amoloney:fedora.im IRC: amoloney -- _______________________________________________ devel-announce mailing list -- devel-announce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-announce-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel-announce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue -- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
