Persistent URLs for images (again :)

[Ian Wienand]

Hi

Some time ago [1] we had some persistent URLs at
cloud.fedoraproject.org

These seem to have disappeared at some point as [2] is returning 404

If, these days, there is some better way to programatically find the
name of the latest image, I would be happy to use it.

In something like:

 ... releases/26/CloudImages/x86_64/images/Fedora-Cloud-Base-26-1.5.x86_64.qcow2

Where does the 1.5 come from?  How would I determine that (hopefully,
without manually scraping the index.html URL)?

Thanks for any insight,

FWIW, in the Cockpit project CI/CD bots end up manually scraping layers
index.html URL(s) to find the latest images.

We would love to have a better solution too.

For Fedora Atomic Host specifically, there are symbolic links you
can pull at least:
