FYI: livesys and livesys-late init.d files left over after Fedora installation

[Marius Schwarz]

Hi,

if Fedora 35 Liveimage is used to install Fedora, livesys and 
livesys-late initscripts are incorrectly copied onto the system
or not deleted after they lost their functionality.

This happens afterwards...

afaik they don't do harm if not deleted.

I believe that everything in Live image is copied to installed system,
like I can found anaconda related packages on in installed Fedora. 

$ rpm -qa|grep anaconda                            
anaconda-user-help-26.2-3.fc37.noarch
kdump-anaconda-addon-006-7.20220714git7ca2d3e.fc37.noarch

They don't harm, but I tend to delete them, I just deleted those
anaconda packages too (be careful this will clean up some depends like
tmux, use `dnf mark install` if you don't want to)

Also, why don't we do the clean up as part of configuration of
installed system? This can be a good feature for anaconda.

That's not a bug, that's expected. They should be no-op on the installed
system. Nobody cared enough to come up with a better system yet. But now
that fedora-autofirstboot exists, I filed a ticket about it here:

A while back there was an initial attempt at replacing the scripts with
a proper package and systemd units:

https://pagure.io/livesys-scripts

the current scripts check for rd.live.image on the cmdline and won't run
without it. They also check for /.liveimg-configured or
/.liveimg-late-configured and won't run with those files present.

I'd like to switch to this for F38 if we can. :)

Then it'd probably be a good idea to file a Change...

Now that automatic persistent overlay support for dmsquash-live has
been submitted upstream[1], I probably can start working on a Change
proposal for this.

This was the missing feature for livesys-scripts to make the
transition possible. It will let us remove the need for
livecd-iso-to-disk entirely.
