Notes

• Repositories serving the mainline kernel
  • https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/kernel-vanilla/mainline/
• Rationale for this image
  • ublue-os/bluefin#2066 (comment)
• Advice on swapping out the bluefin kernel
  • ublue-os/bluefin#2051
• Review the ostree native containers documentation
  • Remote URL for rebasing can be ostree-unverified-image:docker://ghcr.io/drf-jpg/bluefin-mainlike:pr-1
  • Remote URL could also start with ostree-image-signed:... which ublue uses with its cosigned images
  • I am currently using rpm-ostree rebase ostree-unverified-registry:ghcr.io/drf-jpg/bluefin-mainline:pr-1 for testing
• kernel-vanilla does not support Secure Boot
• Pinning your current deployment before rebasing to a new image is a good idea.
  • https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-silverblue/faq/#_how_can_i_upgrade_my_system_to_the_next_major_version_for_instance_rawhide_or_an_upcoming_fedora_release_branch_while_keeping_my_current_deployment
• Mismatched kernel package versions
  • Part of listing specific kernel packages to remove is to minimize changes (e.g. existing ublue kernel modules).
  • Output from successful build below shows mismatched versions of various kernel packages.
  • I have not yet booted to test the image, so I don't know how this is affected.
