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.
