Fedora Linux 43 to Feature RPM 6
Quoting: Fedora Linux 43 to Feature RPM 6 —
Fedora 42 isn’t out yet—it’s scheduled to launch in just over a month, around mid-April. However, developers are already looking ahead and laying out plans for the 43 release, which is expected to arrive later this year, likely in late October or early November.
In light of this, Fedora is eyeing a major transition to RPM 6 (a package management system used in RHEL-based Linux distros) in its upcoming version 43. For reference, Fedora 41 currently uses RPM 4.20, which won’t change in Fedora 42.
Although this proposal remains subject to approval by the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee (FESCo), a key governing body within the Fedora Project that oversees various technical decisions related to the distro’s development, it’s already on the table and has everything it needs to become a reality.
