cloud-init + dhcpcd - dhclient
by Major Hayden
Hey there,
I've updated cloud-init today to the latest version and as part of that change, it now uses dhcpcd rather than the unmaintained dhclient. The new versions are pending for rawhide and F40:
rawhide: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2024-afdd9f7364
F40: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2024-51d7f6b005
Cloud users shouldn't see any changes here since dhcpcd is used in the *very* early boot when cloud-init needs to hop on the network and retrieve metadata. It doesn't affect the operation of NetworkManager since it only runs *after* cloud-init has configured the network stack.
Thanks so much for all the help I received along the way on this one, especially Stephen Gallagher for helping to identify dhcpcd as a solution and to Zdenek Pytela for some SELinux policy updates. 👏

registry.fedoraproject.org/fedora:39 rebuilding daily
by Aleksandr Mezin
Hello. I've noticed that currently fedora:39 docker/podman image is rebuilt every day.
I understand that Fedora 40 is in beta and, likely, daily rebuilds of fedora:40 are intentional.
But why is it happening with fedora:39?
I use fedora:39 as a base for multiple things, and daily rebuilds of fedora:39 then cause daily rebuilds of my images - for seemingly no reason.
Is it possible to stop rebuilding fedora:39 so frequently? If I'm not mistaken, when 39 was in beta, 38 didn't rebuild every day.
