Fedora 45 Preparations
The F45 branch date is scheduled for August 11, 2026, with the beta freeze and code complete deadline on August 25, 2026.
ROCm
- Fedora 45 will likely ship with ROCm 7.2.
- A “compat” package set for ROCm 7.2 is being prepared for Fedora 46 to support it alongside a future major ROCm release.
Python 3.15 Update
The update is causing the usual compatibility issues for packages like torch and triton, specifically with torch._dynamo. This is a work in progress.
New AI Packages for F45
- There is a push to get local AI agent packages into Fedora 45.
- The pi-coding-agent (Bugzilla #2464801) and olla (a local AI proxy) are up for review.
- The review for pi-coding-agent is blocked pending clarification from the NodeJS SIG regarding binary/WASM files in node_modules.
- Help Needed: Reviews are requested for the py-coding-agent and olla packages.
Other Packages & Backends
- python-cupy-rocm has been updated.
- There is no one from the SIG actively working on OpenVINO.
Meeting Schedule
The next meeting on July 2nd falls between Canadian and US holidays. A decision on whether to hold or cancel it will be discussed on Matrix.
Action Items
- Gordon Messmer: Waiting for guidance from the NodeJS SIG on how to handle binary/WASM content in node_modules for the pi-coding-agent review.
- tflink: To start a discussion on Matrix about whether to hold or cancel the July 2nd meeting due to holidays.
