Updates image for testing for Fedora 38 that includes the blivet changes and mdadm-4.2-4.fc38: https://vtrefny.fedorapeople.org/img/f38dmraid.img

Comment 3 Vojtech Trefny 2023-02-02 10:01:41 UTC

This should be now testable with python-blivet-3.6.1-3.fc38, mdadm-4.2-4.fc38 and libblockdev-2.28-4.fc38. The anaconda changes are not required for testing, we are just removing some now obsolete dmraid related boot options from the installer.
