Heads up: Building Fedora images with the default tools tree on Fedora might lead to a wrong Release version

[PatrickJosh]

Hi there,

I encountered a bug in dnf when building Fedora images with the default tools tree on Fedora. Apparently, the release version is ignored when using the newest version of dnf in rawhide. Since the default tools tree in mkosi is based on rawhide when using Fedora as host, this might lead to packages from the wrong Fedora version to end up in your system.

For more information, see this issue: rpm-software-management/dnf5#2861

I think it is better to file as an issue, rather than opening a discussion page...

I'm sorry, I thought that since this is not technically an issue of mkosi but of an underlying tool, it does not warrant opening an issue.

However, I don't know when I'll have time to file an issue with all required information, as I'm currently really stressed out by my master's thesis. Hence, it might take a while for me to open an issue.

Thanks for letting us now! If you don't mind open an issue for us to track this, do so, if not, that's also okay. I've subscribed to the dnf issue.

Good luck with your thesis!

Thank you! 😄
I actually use mkosi in my thesis, so this is why I stumbled upon this, and I wanted to inform you somehow, at least.
And it seems like someone else has also encountered this: #4416

Yeah, good luck! I can remember that really stressed me too...
