This makes it all more consistent with systemd's conventions, compared to how it originally was presented. -- Chris Murphy ___ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org

Igor has now built new packages in koji for fc31, fc32, and fc33. I expect we'll use those for the test day.

The package is fully backwards compatible, so it would be OK to simply push the latest version to F31. But there isn't enough time to go through updates-testing. So I think we should ask people to install the package directly from koji: sudo dnf install https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/rust-zram-generator/0.2.0~rc.1/1.fc32/`uname -p`/zram-generator-0.2.0~rc.1-1.fc32.`uname -p`.rpm Zbyszek ___ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org

[Test-Announce] [Test Day] F33 SwapOnZRAM 2020-07-06
Hey Testers, Monday, 2020-07-06 will be SwapOnZRAM Test Day[0]! This Test Day will focus on SwapOnZRAM[1]. Swap partition is useful, except when it's slow. Zram is a RAM drive that uses compression. Create a swap-on-zram during start-up. And no longer use swap partitions by default. The zram module creates RAM based block devices named /dev/zram ( = 0, 1, ...). Pages written to these disks are compressed and stored in memory itself. These disks allow very fast I/O and compression provides good amounts of memory savings. It's also pretty easy to join in and contribute, you can submit your test day results here[2] As always, the event will be in #fedora-test-day on Freenode IRC.
