News : Fedora 45 wants PURL Metadata.

The Package-URL (PURL) standard privides a "standardized URL-based syntax that uniquely identifies software packages, independent of their ecosystem or distribution channel"

This Change aims at making it easier and more reliable to identify which packages contain code from what projects. This allows for more reliable identification of packages affected by security vulnerabilities. Additionally, this metadata might be interesting for generating SBOMs for content included in (container) images.

The RISC-V images of Fedora 44 are now available for container, server, and cloud variants. The Fedora 44 RISC-V material is considered non-official and community-contributed alternate images currently with Fedora Linux.

The Fedora 44 Server images for RISC-V use a Linux 6.19 based kernel close to upstream and have been tested on the Vision Five 2, Orange Pi RV, and Milk-V Mars.
