Bug ID: 1060328 Summary: Fedora 20 Release Notes imply that rsyslog is no longer installed Product: Fedora Documentation Version: devel Component: release-notes Assignee: relnotes@fedoraproject.org Reporter: toby@ovod-everett.org QA Contact: docs-qa@lists.fedoraproject.org CC: relnotes@fedoraproject.org, wb8rcr@arrl.net, zach@oglesby.co
Description of problem:
The Fedora 20 Release Notes imply that rsyslog is no longer installed (section 2.8.1) during normal installs. It appears, according to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Talk:Changes/NoDefaultSyslog, that it got moved from @core to @standard. However, I suspect that a lot of users will do installs that include @standard, and as a result they will get rsyslog installed and perhaps be confused as to why they got it when the Release Notes imply it is no longer included. I can confirm that the repodata/ac802acf81ab55a0eca1fe5d1222bd15b8fab45d302dfdf4e626716d374b6a64-Fedora-20-comps.xml file on the x86_64 install DVD contains rsyslog in the @standard package group.
Also, https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Talk:Changes/NoDefaultSendmail implies that sendmail got moved from @core to @standard, whereas it appears to me that it actually got removed from both of them (at least I can't find it anywhere in the comps.xml file).
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 20 x86_64 DVD.

--- Comment #1 from Pete Travis me@petetravis.com --- There are lots of ways that a user could end up with these packages, even after the transition that excludes them from the *mandated* list of packages. I agree that we could have explained it better, or at least linked to the Change pages.
Talking about 'default' is a risky thing with Fedora installations, especially in the fedora.next world. We'll be more careful about that going forward.
