All that said, this isn't the first time this has happened. It is the
reason why various large changes usually require groups to sort of make a
sample sausage for people to eat before they have to sit through watching
the larger sausage made. Because we are all going to have to do that while
any of these changes are working through the grinder.
That's good feedback, thanks. It can probably be done in both this case
and fs-verity:
- for the RPMDB change: have a COPR repo with the patched RPM and the
systemd service, with clear instructions how to test
Potential issue: if someone enables this without reading the
instructions, and did not create the symlink either manually or via
the service, this can break their system. Probably have to name it
something like 'rpmdb-move-READ-INSTRUCTIONS-FIRST' or something scary
like that
- for fsverity: having a COPR with the plugin and some re-signed
packages would probably work, so people can get familiar with it
Best regards,
