Today: branch date. Google thinks it's smart I guess, giving everything but a schedule reference on page 1. Most of the time when I try DDG, nothing useful shows up on the first page of hits, if anywhere. So I tried DDG, and no hits are titled to resemble a release schedule or a roadmap to the future. I hit the first anyway, and low and behold, on yet another scrollbar free page needing a scrollbar, branching was yesterday: December 18th – Changes requiring infrastructure changes December 24th – Changes requiring mass rebuild December 24th – System Wide changes January 14th – Self Contained changes February 4th – Changes need to be Testable February 4th – Branching <absent scrollbar needed> In the meantime while waiting for any response here, I simply looked on the mirrors to see if 42 was there yet, and since it is, the question became moot. OTOH, none of the usual system-upgrade options to work around conflicts (--skip-broken, --allow-erasing, or whatever else used to be on https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/upgrading-fedora-offline/) worked, so I tried simply upgrade --releasever=42, and ran into no such impediments. Several packages, 6-7 or so, failed to upgrade. Ho hum. I cleaned up all but two conflicteds with rpm and wget, and all now seems good enough: # inxi -MSaz --za --hostname System: Host: ab560 Kernel: 6.12.12-200.fc41.x86_64 arch: x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 14.2.1 clocksource: tsc avail: hpet,acpi_pm parameters: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz root=LABEL=<filter> noresume audit=0 ipv6.disable=1 net.ifnames=0 consoleblank=0 preempt=full mitigations=off Desktop: TDE (Trinity) v: R14.1.3 tk: Qt v: 3.5.0 wm: Twin v: 3.0 with: kicker vt: 7 dm: 1: TDM 2: XDM Distro: Fedora Linux 42 (Adams Prerelease) Machine: Type: Desktop System: ASUS product: N/A v: N/A serial: N/A Mobo: ASUSTeK model: PRIME B560M-A v: Rev 1.xx serial: <filter> part-nu: SKU uuid: <filter> UEFI: American Megatrends v: 1601 date: 05/07/2022 # -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.
