Cockpit offers a new module, the Cockpit Navigator, a file system browser. This offers
especially for new server users a comfortable, graphical way to explore the server and
eases the getting started with the server. Including it in the standard installation makes
the server more attractive for new users.
Cockpit is configured in comps-f39.xml.in, group headless-management. Group
headless-management is used by fedora-disk-server.ks and fedora-server-vm-full.ks only. I
didn't find it in any other Kickstart file. So no other installation media is affected
by a change.
We have to add a line:
<packagereq type="default">cockpit-navigator</packagereq>
to the headless-management group.
I think, we just have to create a PR accordningly. A change request should not be required
for this.
I have created ticket #111 (
https://pagure.io/fedora-server/issue/111).
Unfortunately our IRC meeting last Wednesday had to be cancelled. I think the change is a
simple matter and not controversial. Therefore, if no one raises concerns, I will initiate
the process on Monday, May 29.
Nevertheless, it would be helpful if everyone adds a vote to the ticket to make the intent
of the Working Group completely clear!
