Update release on provisioning-raspberry-pi4.adoc

[Mossman1215]

the release environment variable has begun to drift from what the stable OS is.

I also found dnf4 and dnf5 differ in how they handle the download arguments.

I have not worked out how to get dnf5 to reliably download packages on non native (aarch64) OS.

I ran into the same issue, and tried changing the command to what I thought was the equivalent dnf5 command: dnf download --forcearch=aarch64 --destdir=/tmp/RPi4boot/ uboot-images-armv8 bcm283x-firmware bcm283x-overlays, but I was running into "firmware not found" issues.

That command results in the following:

/tmp/RPi4boot/ $ ls
bcm283x-firmware-20241118-1.545e5aa.fc41.aarch64.rpm
bcm283x-overlays-20241118-1.545e5aa.fc41.aarch64.rpm
uboot-images-armv8-2024.10-1.fc41.noarch.rpm

Whereas using dnf4 results in:

/tmp/RPi4boot/ $ ls
bcm2711-firmware-20241118-1.545e5aa.fc41.aarch64.rpm
bcm283x-firmware-20241118-1.545e5aa.fc41.aarch64.rpm
efi-filesystem-5-13.fc41.noarch.rpm
bcm2835-firmware-20241118-1.545e5aa.fc41.aarch64.rpm
bcm283x-overlays-20241118-1.545e5aa.fc41.aarch64.rpm
uboot-images-armv8-2024.10-1.fc41.noarch.rpm

So it looks like my dnf5 command wasn't downloading dependencies... not sure if there's a way to do that in dnf5? For now I'll just use the dnf4 command, but I suppose the docs could be updated to use dnf5 and list all the dependencies, though that seems exceptionally fragile.

So for now I would say making this change is the correct one.

Thanks! It would be good to figure out the changes needed to make this work with dnf5 as well.

It would be good to figure out the changes needed to make this work with dnf5 as well.

I can open a PR with the correct command for dnf5.

Since the current default version in Fedora is dnf5, should we consider adding a note about that and also include examples for both versions?
