The :latest tag in fedoraproject is Fedora 37, but is 39 in quay #1411

Closed ianw closed 7 months ago

The two versions appear to be out of sync. Is the registry.fedoraproject.org updated any more? If not, should it be deleted to remove confusion?

$ podman run --dns=none -it registry.fedoraproject.org/fedora-toolbox:latest /bin/bash -c "cat /etc/os-release | grep VERSION_ID="
VERSION_ID=37

$ podman run --dns=none -it quay.io/fedora/fedora-toolbox:latest /bin/bash -c "cat /etc/os-release | grep VERSION_ID="
VERSION_ID=39
$ podman image ls --digests

Just now I got:

[rishi@topinka ~]$ podman run --dns=none -it registry.fedoraproject.org/fedora-toolbox:latest /bin/bash -c "cat /etc/os-release | grep VERSION_ID="

Anyway, it doesn't matter.

The default and canonical location for the fedora-toolbox images is registry.fedoraproject.org. That's what's baked into the toolbox(1) binary, and that's what's tested. From Fedora 39 onwards, these images are produced by Fedora's nightly composes.

The latest tag is not used by default, because the version of the host is explicitly used by default. When the --release option is used, it's also expected to be a numerical Fedora version. Only if someone uses the --image option, then the latest tag might be used.

There's an ongoing migration from registry.fedoraproject.org to quay.io that's being worked on for a while. Hopefully, some day it will get done. :)
