F38: tracker for package additions/removals

[jlebon]

This issue will help track package additions and removals when compared to the previous major version of Fedora. Usually the additions/removals are a result of changing dependencies in named packages in our manifests. Most of the time the changes are intentional, but sometimes they can be unintended and we'd like to document changes and reasoning here.

Ideally, we should do these checks directly in rawhide rather than at promotion time.

• Added:
  • amd-gpu-firmware
    • This also made it into F37 (testing/stable)
  • duktape
  • intel-gpu-firmware
    • This also made it into F37 (testing/stable)
  • kernel-modules-core
    • This also made it into F37 (testing/stable)
  • libmd
    • This also made it into F37 (testing/stable)
  • libunistring1.0
  • nvidia-gpu-firmware
    • This also made it into F37 (testing/stable)
  • rpm-sequoia
• Removed:
  • cracklib-dicts
    • This removal also made it into F37 (testing/stable).
  • libsmbios
  • mozjs102
  • pcre
  • systemd-boot-unsigned

[jlebon]

Added:

• amd-gpu-firmware
• intel-gpu-firmware
• nvidia-gpu-firmware

Split out of linux-firmware (see #1350).

[jlebon]

Added:

• duktape

Removed:

• mozjs102

Polkit changed Javascript library from Mozjs to Duktape which is a lot smaller! (13M vs 640K).

[jlebon]

Added:

• kernel-modules-core

New kernel subpackage.

[jlebon]

Added:

• libmd

New transitive dep of criu. Hashing functions.

[jlebon]

Added:

• libunistring1.0

The libunistring package (which we also ship) had an unexpected soname bump and it looks like rather than forcing all the dependent packages to rebuild, a compat package was created: https://pagure.io/releng/issue/11175. So that package should drop out once all the deps are eventually rebuilt and enter the repos.

[jlebon]

Added:

• rpm-sequoia

New dep of rpm: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/RpmSequoia

[jlebon]

Added:

• samba-libs

New dep of samba-client-libs. 375K.

[jlebon]

Removed:

• cracklib-dicts

This is now a weak dep which we no longer pull in: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2006063

[jlebon]

Removed:

• libsmbios

Dropped dep of fwupd.

[jlebon]

Removed:

• pcre

This package was deprecated: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PcreDeprecation

[jlebon]

Removed:

• systemd-boot-unsigned

Dropped dep of systemd-udev.

[dustymabe]

Only on aarch64

Added:

• libatomic

Pulled in now by fwupd dep chain:

Looks like libusb1 now links with libatomic in 1.0.26 and newer. Not sure 100% on why this doesn't get pulled in on other architectures.
