Comment 1 Martin Pitt 2021-05-10 04:05:02 UTC

I think this is mostly because /usr/share/osinfo/os/fedoraproject.org/fedora-34.xml in osinfo-db still marks Fedora 34 as prerelease. That of course is out of date now, so I clone the bug for osinfo-db.

Katarina: However, is there a particular reason why we don't allow pre-release versions? We could show them as "<name> (prerelease)" to give a little warning, but indeed it is very useful to try out development series in a VM?

Comment 2 Martin Pitt 2021-05-10 04:07:02 UTC

Cloned osinfo-db bug #1958738.

Sorry Kat*e*rina for the typoed name above :)

Comment 3 Katerina Koukiou 2021-05-10 07:37:27 UTC

The current available osinfo-db in fedora-34 is osinfo-db-20210426-1.fc34.noarch

If you look for this tag in the osinfo-db source code, the fedora-34 entry is missing the tree URLs.

https://gitlab.com/libosinfo/osinfo-db/-/blob/v20210426/data/os/fedoraproject.org/fedora-34.xml.in#L180 

The URL exists on osinfo-db master, namely added by:

commit e65d71e3472118910e045ee603d07d207efa7cdc

    fedora: Add Fedora 34 URLs + isodata
    
    Signed-off-by: Felipe Borges <felipeborges>

However there is not any release containing this tag yet. $ git tag --contains e65d71e3472118910e045ee603d07d207efa7cdc gives no results.

So I am moving this bug to osinfo-db and request a new release containing the commit above.

Comment 4 Katerina Koukiou 2021-05-10 08:18:45 UTC

I just double checked, we actually show prereleases. The only reason that this was hidden were the missing URLs, which will be contained in the next osinfo-db release. Closing this as there is no further action needed from cockpit side.
