=== General changes
|
| |
* The filesystem image containing the Anaconda installer, `images/install.img`, which is present both in DVD and netinstall ISOs, no longer embeds an ext4 filesystem image.
|
| |
- Instead, files are stored directly in SquashFS, without an intermediate ext4 layer.
|
| |
- Installer content is stored more efficiently this way, resulting in savings of up to 27MiB per ISO.

* Persistent network configuration from Kickstart configuration is now created in a later stage (not in initramfs), so all the persistent configuration files are generated using the NetworkManager API, which results in:
|
| |
** Consistency between common kickstart configuration and configuration via kickstart %pre section (the same code path is used).
|
| |
** Consistency of generated configuration files. All files are now stored in the format configured in NetworkManager. In Fedora 33 configuration files created from kickstart configuration were stored in `ifcfg` files while other configuration paths (boot options, UI) were using `keyfile` files.
|
| |
|
| |
* Added a metapackage for image dependencies - useful when generating `boot.iso`.

=== Changes in boot options
|

* The `inst.` prefix, which was previously recommended for use with Anaconda-specific boot options, is now mandatory.
|

- Anaconda boot options such as `inst.stage2=` or `inst.repo=` will now be ignored if they do not use the prefix.
|

- This change helps Anaconda avoid conflicts with other projects which may use the same kernel parameters.

the po4a modules calls another one, which creates a huge output of useless warn in my mailbox
