Description Jiri Bohac 2023-06-23 09:42:20 UTC

Kdump v1.9 (currently in the Kernel:Kdump) project is a major update that requires a few changes in yast2-kdump.

The most urgently needed is implemented here:
https://github.com/yast/yast-kdump/pull/134/commits/4193cab178b751df8b52a83375e722326f88670e
On a system with transactional-updates, yast2-kdump fails because tu-rebuild-kdump-initrd is currently broken and I am working with the TU maintainer to drop the script completely. mkdumprd should be used.

Less urgent channges:
- remove KDUMP_COPY_KERNEL and KDUMPTOOL_FLAGS that are no longer supported by kdump
- update the default config values to the ones documented in man 5 kdump and in the
default /etc/sysconfig/kdump file provided by the kdump package
- unify all boolean config variables to use "true"/"false" as documented in man 5 kdump. Previously some variables expected "yes"/"no" instead.

Please consider my attempt to implement all these changes in this GitHub PR:
https://github.com/yast/yast-kdump/pull/134

This is actually a feature request.

Yes, but it also contains the PR which make it rather smooth.
Plus it's not for SLE 15 codebase which makes it simple too.

Dropping KDUMPTOOL_FLAGS and KDUMP_COPY_KERNEL might be somehow handled on the AutoYaST level (newly ignoring?) but in general it's quite OK IMO. Especially as we don't have a way to request this as a feature for future products other than ALP and ALP don't really care about YaST.
