Errors at installation time should be fully diagnosable, and even if the output today doesn't make it totally obvious what happened, it would be easy to fix in rpm.
The errors post-install are a bit trickier. Imagine you install your rpm, and kick off some long running daemon from it. A month later, a block gets corrupted in a way fs checksums don't catch (e.g. ext4, btrfs nodatasum, evil maid), and suddenly that daemon receives a SIGBUS and crashes. You would be able to see clearly that it was a verity issue in dmesg, but I don't think the binary could reasonably know what happened or write a meaningful log. In that sense, I think it's actually pretty similar to the experience if you have corruption in your disk and start getting btrfs checksum errors on a file--you'd have to look in dmesg to know why your file is broken. The middle ground is when opening/exec-ing the file fails. In that case, you might get a sufficiently specific error code you could figure out it's verity, and the full error would be in dmesg as well. _______________________________________________ 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 on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
