GNOME 3.37.92 megaupdate landing in testing and tracker3 coming
by Kalev Lember
Hi all,
Just a quick heads up that the 3.37.92 megaupdate is all lined up and
queued to F33 updates-testing:
https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2020-7f57486c95
This is likely not going to be pushed through the beta freeze, so next
week I'll prepare a final .0 release to replace/obsolete the .92 bodhi
update.
I'll talk to QA and see how they feel about pulling the .92 update
through the beta freeze now that the beta is delayed anyway, but I think
the base scenario is that we ship beta without this.
The megaupdate also includes new parallel installable tracker3 and
tracker3-miners packages. The naming here was difficult but in the end
we ended up keeping tracker 2 in the existing 'tracker' package and
creating a new 'tracker3' package that's parallel installable with the
old one. This makes it easy to port packages over one by one. In F34
perhaps we can drop tracker 2 and get rid of the separate tracker3
package; let's see how fast app porting goes.
In default Fedora Workstation, we'll have both 'tracker' and 'tracker3'
installed by default, but only tracker3 FS miners are going to be
started at session login; tracker 2 miners are autostarted when an app
requires them. Everything in the default install is ported to tracker3,
with the exception of gnome-photos where the upstream port didn't get
ready in time.
(I've cross posted this to devel and desktop lists both.)

services impact on startup times
by Chris Murphy
Hi,
These are based on Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-33-20200828.n.0.iso
in a VM. The numbers are different on bare metal but correlate.
The only standout is rngd.service. That's a pretty big single hit,
percentage wise. And I don't know if we even need it anymore. Among
the rest, perhaps atd.service and crond.service could be disabled by
default on new installations, in favor of systemd timers.
Startup finished in 1.320s (kernel) + 1.344s (initrd) + 7.727s
(userspace) = 10.392s
disable atd.service
Startup finished in 1.308s (kernel) + 1.310s (initrd) + 7.557s
(userspace) = 10.176s
disable dbxtool.service
Startup finished in 1.302s (kernel) + 1.291s (initrd) + 7.527s
(userspace) = 10.120s
disable import-state.service
Startup finished in 1.308s (kernel) + 1.326s (initrd) + 7.410s
(userspace) = 10.044s
disable iscsi.service
Startup finished in 1.316s (kernel) + 1.303s (initrd) + 7.177s
(userspace) = 9.797s
disable libvirtd.service
Startup finished in 1.316s (kernel) + 1.266s (initrd) + 6.779s
(userspace) = 9.361s
disable lvm2-monitor.service
Startup finished in 1.315s (kernel) + 1.323s (initrd) + 6.750s
(userspace) = 9.389s
disable mdmonitor.service
Startup finished in 1.316s (kernel) + 1.350s (initrd) + 6.675s
(userspace) = 9.342s
disable ModemManager.service
Startup finished in 1.270s (kernel) + 1.305s (initrd) + 7.052s
(userspace) = 9.629s
disable nfs-convert.service
Startup finished in 1.312s (kernel) + 1.343s (initrd) + 6.958s
(userspace) = 9.614s
disable rngd.service
Startup finished in 1.308s (kernel) + 1.277s (initrd) + 5.247s
(userspace) = 7.833s
disable switcheroo-control.service
Startup finished in 1.308s (kernel) + 1.334s (initrd) + 5.223s
(userspace) = 7.867s
disable vboxservice.service
Startup finished in 1.301s (kernel) + 1.302s (initrd) + 5.176s
(userspace) = 7.780s
disable crond.service
Startup finished in 1.310s (kernel) + 1.278s (initrd) + 5.076s
(userspace) = 7.665s
preset-all
Startup finished in 1.316s (kernel) + 1.312s (initrd) + 7.869s
(userspace) = 10.498s ##stopwatch 11.35
disable atd.service crond.service iscsi.service rngd.service vboxservice.service
Startup finished in 1.305s (kernel) + 1.294s (initrd) + 5.505s
(userspace) = 8.105s ##stopwatch 8.89
All of these times are based on 'systemd-analyze'. The stopwatch
method is less precise but still demonstrates the difference is real.
It may not be a big enough deal to do anything about it this cycle,
but could be something to look at for the next. Maybe more
opportunities are available.
