and here it is, after asking on the #Kinoite matrix channel dev Tim Ravier pointed me here https://pagure.io/releng/failed-composes/issues
and logs https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/compose/updates/
Useful to see what is appearing in testing composes and when and why your testing branch box hasn't received anything in weeks 😆

Finally! It seems that both bootc + rpm-ostree in Fedora 42 know how to handle zstd:chunked OCI bundles.
So both the improved compression by the Zstandard algorithm AND it's inherent capability to produce a segmented output stream that is a series of compressed files with embedded metadata, which can be deduplicated over the network (!), are supported.
Perfect addition to OSTree chunks, which are small, grouped blobs (e.g. pairs of metadata and one or more packages).
Anyone in bootc or container land? who can lend a hand?
Can see the labels at the bottom here for example :neofox_woozy:
github.com/Venefilyn/veneos/pkgs/container/veneos/426508416?tag=stable.2025-05-29
#bootc #containers #ostree #linux
Everything is (ideally) handled by wrapper scripts, which use #ostree to prepare a new "snapshot", use unshare and nsenter to get into it and call portage commands, and again use ostree to prepare the boot entries and all...
(Almost) everything will be handled seamlessly...
The user will only have to use a new command (like `oportage` where for `emerge` one will use `oportage emerge`)
Before I start actually writing something like that, I have to ask... Who else is interested in such a thing?

today in #fedora qa:
* catching up from vacation
* requested a new f42 beta candidate (ok, that was last night, I'm cheating)
* tweaked fedfind a bit to avoid a race with compose sync for new candidates - https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/fedfind/c/492a202
* deep dive into #ostree build failures on #rawhide - https://github.com/coreos/rpm-ostree/issues/5333
* reported cifs-utils 7.2 breaking anon mounts - https://lore.kernel.org/linux-cifs/83c00b5fea81c07f6897a5dd3ef50fd3b290f56c.camel@redhat.com/
* helped desktop team with some issues around f42 GNOME 48 megaupdate
* started some beta testing
If you are a maintainer of #nix, #nixpkgs or #nixos: listen up.
You've got about 2 years or so being a serious contender, until someone like #lix or even #ostree with #ComposeFS comes in and eats your lunch.
Part and parcel of that is the community, the language, the security of knowing that there is culpability and responsibility.
Linus Torvalds had to walk it off because an entire foundation told him to. If the nix "community" is beyond this, why give #DeterminateSystems contracts?
#OSTree people in the meanwhile introduced #ComposeFS that can also enable cryptographically sealed systems
So... instead of going back to #FedoraAtomic, I'm going over to... #lix. Well tomorrow I'm going over to.
I'm on #NixOS now and the idea of going from #nix to lix intrigues me. It's just a change of the underlying tooling that interacts with the nix store, but I'm fascinated by the idea that you can compose NixOS using whatever tooling that works with it.
The nix store is then fully decoupled from nix and nixpkgs, making it more a competing standard against #ostree.
I just found a trick!
How to reinstall packages in #Fedora #Atomic desktop #downstream images like #uBlue (#Bazzite, #Bluefin, #Aurora, #uCore) or #Secureblue, that were removed in the image building process.
There is a bug in #rpmostree, that basically prevents you from reinstalling #Firefox if the builders decided to remove it.

Fedora Silverblue — мнение с точки зрения джависта
Привет, меня зовут Егор Гаврилов, и я хочу рассказать о Fedora Silverblue с точки зрения Junior Java Developer'а, который использует данный дистрибутив в качестве повседневной ОС.
Ok, am I weird or does this make no sense? To pin an #ostree deployment in #fedora #atomic desktop you use e.g.
sudo ostree* admin pin 0
Naively, I always think it should be
sudo ostree admin unpin 0
to unpin it again. But no. My sweat summer child. Why, it's *obviously*:
sudo ostree admin pin --unpin 0
(I kinda get why it is that but I will never be able to remember that.)
*Why not rpm-ostree? So many questions.
I don't know who needs to hear this, but #System76 needs to rebase #PopOS. No shot, the current stable is 22.04... 22... 04.
#Ubuntu #Linux cannot be trusted, because snaps - and Shuttleworth - which means they have to go fully #Debian, which is respectable, but hear me out here...
I can hear you booing from the back, and I can feel the glee of @BrodieOnLinux , but even though I like #Fedora I think competition is good and that #uBlue has that vector sown up. Also, #IBM.
#Fedora really tipped #Ubuntu from its perch, and #uBlue as well as #Bazzite are examples of that.
Don't get me wrong, #Mint and even #Arch are still the everyman distros, but point me to another #libre distribution that has pushed the envelope as much as Fedora has.
#Nouveau, #Wayland, #PipeWire, #Ostree, etc. When it comes to #Linux, Fedora is a technology leader, and its users & organizational governance is key to that success.

Love it that bootc to manage bootable containers is used by fedora, universal-blue and bazzite

#Fedora #Kinoite is...weird? I get that it's meant to use Flatpak for installing apps but CLI apps have to be installed via #ostree and even something as simple as installing htop requires a reboot for it to work? I mean I know it's an atomic system but that feels like such a step backwards to me.
I'll keep playing with it as time permits but I think I prefer traditional Fedora and #KDE.
