Fedora 41 template

[marmarek]

Fedora 41 (https://fedorapeople.org/groups/schedule/f-41/f-41-key-tasks.html) is planned for end of October 2024. Tasks below should start after mass rebuild (planned for July/August).

Tasks:

• build all packages
• fix: The current post-upgrade hook is not able to reset the updates-available feature after successful upgrades
• update rpmfusion to final released version
• build the template
• document
• upload to testing repo
• migrate to stable repo
• announce

If any issue affects Fedora 41 specifically (build failures, things that worked fine before etc.), please add reference to this issue too.

There is salt 3007.1 package for F42: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/salt. I wonder if it will get published to F41 too.

Fedora uses a patch to fix this issue on Fedora 41. Maybe QubesOS should ship salt 3006.X with this patch, too.

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/salt/blob/f41/f/64675.patch

This patch is not applied in F41 package anymore: #9244 (comment) (I guess somebody forgot, either to apply, or to remove the patch file).

Anyway, 3007.1 is in our current-testing repositories already: QubesOS/updates-status#5334

qubes-salt never worked when targetting Fedora-41 templates to install packages.

It is missing this patch:

• [master][FEATURE REQUEST] Added support for dnf5 for Fedora saltstack/salt#64675

I am facing these issues:

• [BUG] Wrong parameter passed to dnf5 for list upgrades saltstack/salt#67743
• [BUG] Salt LTS broken on Fedora 41 saltstack/salt#67057

With the help of this comment:

% git -C qubes-salt --no-pager log --all --grep='Added support for dnf5 for Fedora' --pretty='format:%H' | xargs -r -t -n1 git -C qubes-salt --no-pager tag --contains | sort -V

% git -C salt --no-pager log --all --grep='Added support for dnf5 for Fedora' --pretty='format:%H' | xargs -r -t -n1 git -C salt --no-pager tag --contains | sort -V
git -C salt --no-pager tag --contains 8f360e3cc9a2619aae58f1cac3f95259a9794b33
git -C salt --no-pager tag --contains 5fa7a865ab376f24b09bbe47157d99b1fe6a0847
v3007.0
v3007.0rc1
v3007.1

% cat qubes-salt/version
3007.1

Will probably be solved by:

• Backport of dnf5 support from 3007 to 3006, and adjustments for dnf5 syntax since 2023 saltstack/salt#67775
