Noone is saying we should retain Redis. I'm advocating for a more appropriate transition that is respectful of the work and expertise the existing package maintainers bring.
I think f41 is appropriate and possible, but "more haste, less speed" is the way to get there, with minimal breakage to Fedora and users.
From my perspective, I don't see any breakage happening. We also haven't *done* anything yet.
Sooo, about that... :) I see there is a valkey build winging its way toward f39 and f38 now: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/?packages=valkey
If someone has an active redis installation on those systems and install that - aren't they in for a bit of a surprise? Correct me if I'm wrong, but this will replace redis - leaving /var/lib/redis with their current data, and start a new "redis-server" (aka "valkey-server") process writing into a new, empty rdb file below /var/lib/valkey, no? If so, how do they reconcile those split rdb files?
Let's slow down a bit, it's not so urgent that we risk peoples data.
cheers.
