Kdump need the addon in live cd so that anaconda can eanble the kdump setup
UI during intalling phase.

The kdump addon is maintained in kexec-tools as a sub-package:
kexec-tools-anaconda-addon

Adding it does not mean to enable it by default, one need use inst.kdump_addon
kernel param to enable it.

Details see Fedora bug below:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1176483

The package size is very small, the latest one for x86_64 is around 90k.
$ ls -l kexec-tools-anaconda-addon-2.0.12-5.fc24.x86_64.rpm
-rw-rw-r-- 1 dyoung dyoung 90818 Jun 8 14:51 kexec-tools-anaconda-addon-2.0.12-5.fc24.x86_64.rpm

This should be handled by adding kexec-tools-anaconda-addon to the anaconda-tools group in comps

Thanks for the comment, where can I add it to anaconda-tools group? I do not find any clue by greping anaconda-tools in git repo.

So it looks like you want to fork fedora-comps in pagure and clone that repo. Then edit comps-f25.xml.in and add another packagereq entry for kexec-tools-anaconda-addon. Then push, then make a pull request in fedora-comps.
I'm not sure how to test local changes to comps for use with local livemedia-creator runs, but you should really do this before making the pull request, to make sure this works as expected.

bruno and ausil, thanks for the comments, I will do some homework with fedora-comps and come back with a test result first.

I'll go ahead and close this PR now then.
