Adapt yast2-kdump for new version of kdump
Last modified: 2023-11-10 21:00:04 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.
(In reply to Stefan Hundhammer from comment #2) > 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.
