Fedora Linux 43 was released today [1]. The Fedora CoreOS testing
stream has been rebased and is currently rolling out. This update
will come to the stable stream in a few weeks.
As of Fedora 43 updates are now built via a container workflow [2] and
exclusively shipped via the quay.io/fedora/fedora-coreos container
registry. This means updates no longer exist in the OSTree repo
at https://ostree.fedoraproject.org [3].
For other Fedora 43 related changes you can see the full list of Fedora
Project changes [4] and the Fedora CoreOS analysis of each change [5].
There are a few of these changes we’d like to highlight:
- The iptables-legacy RPM will be dropped. Any systems still using
the iptables-legacy backend will be migrated to iptables-nft [6]. - The Qualcomm (qcom) dtb files on aarch64 (arm64) have been removed [7].
This helps ease the pressure surrounding our limited disk space in /boot. - The GRUB bootloader and shim software are now updated by default on
every boot [8][9]. This ensures our bootloader stays up to date.
Please test out the testing stream over the coming weeks and report any
issues in our issue tracker [10].
