Create fedora-rawhide

[Fermats-Last-Account]

Added brl fetch support for Fedora Rawhide. I took regular Fedora's bootstrap code and made a few changes in order to have it work for Fedora Rawhide.

[Titaniumtown]

shouldn't it just be another "release" of fedora?

[Fermats-Last-Account]

Ideally that would be the case, however Rawhide has some different links than regular Fedora.

For example, it uses linux/development/rawhide/Everything as opposed to linux/releases/32/Everything.

It also isn't listed in the directory Bedrock uses to find Fedora's releases. https://download-ib01.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/

I wasn't sure how to implement those changes without breaking fetch support for regular Fedora.

[Titaniumtown]

Oh ok.

[paradigm]

I agree with Titaniumtown. This should just be a release of Fedora.

For example, it uses linux/development/rawhide/Everything as opposed to linux/releases/32/Everything.

If this string is used once, just use an if/else check if the version is rawhide and handle both branches accordingly.

If it's read multiple times, populate a variable early on with an if/else and use the variable in the various locations.

It also isn't listed in the directory Bedrock uses to find Fedora's releases. https://download-ib01.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/

Ideal solution would be to find another way to figure out Fedora's releases which would properly handle the hypothetical scenario they drop rawhide. However, I don't foresee them doing that any time soon. It's probably safe enough to hardcode rawhide in the output, in addition to the dynamically fetched values.

[Titaniumtown]

bump, is this going to to be added? Would be a neat feature once added properly in the form of a "release" for the fedora installer.

[Titaniumtown]

Found one issue: when I do dnf update, I get "Failed to set locale, defaulting to C.UTF-8" this doesn't happen with a fedora 32 stratum.

[bobbbay]

@Titaniumtown Interesting, try cat /bedrock/strata/{name-of-strat}/etc/locale.conf

Locale problems generally seem small but have huge impacts on tons of applications.

EDIT also, could send over your bedrock.conf? /bedrock/etc/bedrock.conf cheers!

[Titaniumtown]

Lemme do that right now @bobbbay Give me a second.

[Titaniumtown]

I was refetching it bc I deleted the stratum, and I got the error:

warning: /target-root/var/cache/dnf/rawhide-2d95c80a1fa0a67d/packages/acl-2.2.53-8.fc33.x86_64.rpm: Header V4 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID 45719a39: NOKEY

[Titaniumtown]

It fails to fetch. ummmm

[bobbbay]

@Titaniumtown That's better, now it doesn't fetch at all! :))))

Are you sure that's the command that you ran? Try history | grep "brl fetch" to see all of your fetches. I see a --experimental flag in fetch too, but seems unrelated.

[Titaniumtown]

well, I ran:

sudo brl fetch fedora-rawhide -n fedora-rawhide

Imma try w/o the -n fedora-rawhide part.

[Titaniumtown]

same error. hmmmm

[bobbbay]

@Titaniumtown Well then, let's break down the error.

Line one is a warning, let's ignore that for now.

Line two is regular curl output, at 0 bytes

Line 3 is the real deal. Shize, I think I just found it. Typo in the install code, says $releasesever instead of $releaseserver. Give me a sec to find where the install files are stored, and I'll give you a fix.

[Titaniumtown]

Ok, got it. Strange because it worked before, now it fails to fetch 🤔

[bobbbay]

Yes, now that I think of it that could be wrong.

Seems like this was an actual problem with Fedora at a time, see this, this and this (or just search up "curl error (37)")

I can't seem to find where the file that stores this is, both in this repo or online, @paradigm will know.

[bobbbay]

@Titaniumtown Could you try now? It's been a while, and developer's luck might let us fix that at a later point 😆

This PR seems to have been inactive for an year. Also Fedora 35 is not added to brl fetch, maybe adding that will be a reasonable choice.

This PR seems to have been inactive for an year.

Yes, that happens. Bedrock is a huge project, with tons to do, and no where enough people to get it all done in a timely manner. Given the availability of brl import, expanding brl fetch isn't a particularly high priority. If no one else adds rawhide as a brl fetch fedora release, I'll likely do so myself eventually, but after a very long list of higher priority items.

Also Fedora 35 is not added to brl fetch, maybe adding that will be a reasonable choice.

brl fetch fedora -r 35 works for me. If it is not working for you, please provide more information, such as exactly what happens when you try it.

Apparently the mirror brl fetch fedora -R was using to dynamically determine the current list of Fedora releases is not being maintained. As in our previous discussion, I have a fix in master that will trickle down to the next beta and stable release.

For the time being, open up /bedrock/share/brl-fetch/distros/fedora with root permissions and either manually apply the changes shown here or just outright overwrite the file with the this (make sure to click "Raw").

I've succeeded in installing rawhide with sudo dnf upgrade --refresh;sudo dnf install dnf-plugin-system-upgrade;sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=rawhide;sudo dnf system-upgrade reboot in the fedora stratum and booting the PC with fedora's init system.
