dnsmasq
We saw a report in the RHEL for Edge downstream about how the inclusion of dnsmasq in the OS was causing issues for CIS Level 1 server compliance. (Example audit rule for CIS compliance - https://www.tenable.com/audits/items/CIS_Oracle_Linux_9_v2.0.0_L1_Server.audit:35758e8a3ea48aff90e79b2d49199741)
The git archeology for the inclusion of that package appears to go back to the first definition of the IoT package set - https://pagure.io/fedora-iot/ostree/c/e4dff0e6fb85568963701ced7e8ca97e88e5f74a?branch=master
This looks very similar to the base content set that was used for Fedora Atomic Host and the rationale for the inclusion of dnsmasq in Atomic Host had to do with supporting openshift-ansible/OpenShift 3.11 - https://www.pagure.io/fedora-atomic/c/0435250a9308ba55e56f3c31edfe63aab2c41d8d
openshift-ansible
An inspection of the Requires/Recommends on dnsmasq doesn't show any default packages that depend on the package:
[core@localhost ~]$ rpm -q --whatrequires dnsmasq no package requires dnsmasq [core@localhost ~]$ rpm -q --whatrecommends dnsmasq no package recommends dnsmasq
Given the history and lack of dependencies on the package, it seems like a good candidate for removal from IoT.
(We already decided to remove it from future versions of RHEL for Edge - osbuild/images#921)
The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
Yes, makes sense, from (a very vague) memory it was originally needed for container networking, but that's no longer the case. Filed this PR: https://pagure.io/fedora-iot/ostree/pull-request/62
Sorry, something went wrong.
Merged.
