Fedora 24 will EOL on 2017-08-08. Are F25/26 Templates ready?

[Illidan Pornrage]

The latest Fedora template, 24, in the repo will EOL soon on 2017-08-08.

Are templates with newer Fedora Versions ready?

If not, what is missing? Maybe I can help porting whatever.

[Lorenzo Lamas]

Fedora 26 has been released which means there is now less than a month before F24 becomes EOL..

[Unman]

There are templates for Fedora-25 for both 3.2 and 4 , and the packages
are also available at yum.qubes-os.org. so you can either upgrade
existing templates or install a shiny new one.

Anybody know if 3.2 will ever support FC24, or if 4.0 is the only way?

As shown in the link you quote, you can download FC24 for 3.2:

http://yum.qubes-os.org/r3.2/templates-itl/rpm/

so in dom0:

F24:
sudo qubes-dom0-update qubes-template-fedora-24

F25:
sudo qubes-dom0-update qubes-template-fedora-25

as unman mentions you can also upgrade an existing Fedora template
rather than download a fresh new one:

Sorry, my bad - I meant to ask about FC24 support in dom0...

I doubt that 3.2 will change dom0 version - for the reasons given here,
there's no perceived need to update dom0 software.
www.qubes-os.org/doc/supported-versions

A few months back there was still a thought that R4 would have 23 in
dom0. I havent seen any update on that.

My bad - the testing repository for R4 contains Fedora 25 packages for
dom0

So, can one, should one, follow the Steps, that are in the Docs for
F23-F24 ?
