I don't run @workstation, so maybe there are replacements, but a few are commonly useful: - fprintd-pam: used for fingerprint login - smartmontools: monitors hard disk health - util-linux-user: chsh (used to change shell) and chfn I'm not sure why those last two utilities merit a separate package; it's not a size thing (the installed size is 61kB), it doesn't look like they add any dependencies over the util-linux package. dbus is a virtual package now for dbus-broker, so don't know if it is needed in any setup directly. IIRC ed was in default installs for a long time because it's part of the POSIX spec. I thought that irqbalance was obsoleted at some point by in-kernel tuning, but I haven't dug deeply. If not, it should probably be installed just about everywhere (at least on physical systems), since almost all CPUs are multi-core now. I personally like rsyslog for traditional logs for some things, as its easier to portion out limited access (for example, on some servers I might make DHCP or mail logs readable by non-root users in a particular group), but that's a niche usage and I don't care whether it is in default installs. -- Chris Adams <li...@cmadams.net> _______________________________________________ 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 Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
