This will be a CI/CD pipeline for building Fedora bootc on Framework laptop hardware.

Included features:

• Plasma Desktop
• WIFI driver and tools
• Podman Desktop
• Basic office tools
• Developer tools

How to build ISO installation media

Optional: Edit Makefile to set DISK_TYPE, ROOTFS, and ARCH as needed.

This assumes you're using a Fedora WSL environment for building. It might work different elsewhere.

git clone --recurse-submodules --remote-submodules https://github.com/CompPhy/framework-fedora-bootc
sudo dnf install make podman iptables
# Fix for this issue when using WSL:  https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/25201
sudo vim /etc/containers/containers.conf
    [network]
    firewall_driver="iptables"
# Verify the image hash you want to pull in the Makefile.
sudo make disk-image

Release branches and tagging policy

This repository uses a small release-branch policy to continue producing older-release images while development moves forward on main.

• Branch: release-* — used to maintain older Fedora release images.
• main — continues to receive normal development and is the most recent major release.

Tagging behavior performed by the build workflow:

• When publishing from main the build pushes both the latest and release version tags (plus a SHA-tagged image).
• When publishing from release-* the build pushes the release version tag (plus a SHA tag).

Renovate

• Renovate is configured to create dependency update PRs against both main and release-* so the release branch will continue to receive automated updates for upstream dependency changes. See renovate.json for details.

When it's time to retire the release-42 branch (for example, after main has fully migrated to Fedora 43), remove the special-case tagging from the workflow and delete the branch.
