14 DAY TRIAL // The Fedora Project is preparing to release their latest and greatest Linux kernel-based operating system, Fedora 22, which will arrive as expected later this month, on May 26, 2015.
Today, May 12, Dennis Gilmore had the pleasure of informing all package maintainers and Fedora developers that the distribution just entered Final Freeze, which means that they won't be able to make any changes to their packages.
It also means that Fedora 22 is on track and will arrive to users May 26, 2015, according to the release schedule. The distribution has been delayed only once in this release cycle, which is quite a record.
"Today is an important day on the Fedora 22 schedule, with a significant cut-offs," says Dennis Gilmore. "This means that only packages which fix accepted blocker or freeze exception bugs will be marked as 'stable' and included in the Final composes."
DNF will be the default package manager in Fedora 22
Softpedia was happy to report the other day the immediate availability of the DNF 1.0 package manager, which will replace YUM in the forthcoming Fedora 22 Linux operating system.
DNF is a fork of YUM, but it is far more advanced the Red Hat's old-school package manager used for more than a decade in numerous RPM-based operating systems. To learn more about DNF, check out its homepage.
Those of you who played with the Alpha and Beta builds of the upcoming Fedora 22 Linux distribution would know by now about DNF and how to use it. DNF uses the same command-line options like YUM, so you won't have any problems getting used to it.
With this said, we will be more than happy to cover the release of the Fedora 22 Linux operating system at the end of the month, so make sure that you read our Linux news section on a regular basis.
