fedora-workstation-repositories package not part of workstation livecd

[Hans de Goede]

Hi All,

With all the WFH stuff going on I set up a new fresh installed
laptop for my wife.

She needs google-chrome on there because for some reason MS-teams
does not want to allow video-conferencing in Firefox.

After doing a fresh F32 beta install from the workstation livecd
I wanted to edit /etc/yum.repos.d/google-chrome.repo to enable
that repo, but it was not there.

AFAIK the intention is for the fedora-workstation-repositories
to be there, so I think we might have a bug in comps here somewhere?

Regards,

Hans



p.s.

I have the feeling from some older installs on older machines that
the same issue is present in Fedora 31, but not much we can do
about that.

Probably easier to add it to the kickstarts as if people install the
group alongside other options it might cause issues, in
fedora-workstation-common.ks, I did a PR [1] for other live images on
the weekend, I didn't add Workstation as I wasn't sure if it was being
done by another method and didn't have time to grab latest live. I'm
happy to update my PR to include Workstation in that.

Hi Hans,

No, it's not a bug. We weren't allowed to ship
fedora-workstation-repositories by default as per Fedora Council guidance.
It was only last week that we got a new ruling that finally allows doing
that (but it needs some work in other related components first before we
can actually do that). See https://pagure.io/fedora-workstation/issue/105
