When will you release v4 binaries (ie v4.0.2) ?

[jradxl]

When will you release v4 binaries (ie v4.0.2) to this repository, in my case for Ubuntu 21.10

https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/devel:kubic:libcontainers:stable/podman

Or am I looking in the wrong place?

REF Your documentation:
https://podman.io/getting-started/installation
CAUTION: On Ubuntu 20.10 and newer, we highly recommend you use Buildah, Podman and Skopeo ONLY from EITHER the Kubic repo OR the official Ubuntu repos

Possibly never:

• Release v4.0.0 packages on Kubic PPA for Ubuntu? #13302

See also:

https://packages.ubuntu.com/impish/podman (3.2.1)

Possibly needs an updated blog post about it: https://podman.io/blogs/2021/03/02/podman-support-for-older-distros.html

As far as I know, it is only in Debian "experimental" (4.0.1). It is not in Debian "sid" (3.4.4), and not in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (3.4.4).

@jradxl what @afbjorklund said.

Let me also copy @benridley and @bbalp (I'm reusing your gitlab ids so apologies if you're not the right people) . They are working on https://gitlab.com/benridley/podman-deb and perhaps you or anyone else interested can reach out there and help out.

Closing ...

I will update the podman docs.

@afbjorklund wip blog post for v4.0 is happening at #13310

[afbjorklund]

As far as I know, the system packages will stay at the current versions:

Ubuntu	Podman	Kubic
20.04	---	(3.4.2)
20.10	---	(3.4.2)
21.04	3.0	(3.4.2)
21.10	3.2	----
22.04	3.4	----

And then it is up to third parties, to supply the packaging for Podman 4.

Basically it will only be available in Fedora 36, possibly backported to RHEL.
