A tool for downloading Fedora, ELN, and Centos Stream images. By default it targets the Workstation edition of Fedora.
Usage examples:
dl-fedora rawhide : downloads the latest Fedora Rawhide Workstation Live iso
dl-fedora 41 silverblue : downloads the Fedora Silverblue iso
dl-fedora respin kde : downloads the latest KDE Live respin
dl-fedora 40 server --arch aarch64 : will download the Server iso for armv8
dl-fedora --run 41 : will download Fedora Workstation and boot the Live image with qemu-kvm.
dl-fedora --check respin : checks if there is a newer respin iso image
available.
dl-fedora --local rawhide : shows the current locally available image.
It can be combined with --run to quickly run the latest local image,
without a newer download.
dl-fedora c9s : downloads a Centos Stream 9 net installer.
By default dl-fedora downloads to ~/Downloads/
(correctly the XDG user "DOWNLOADS" directory),
but if you create an iso subdirectory there (~/Downloads/iso/)
it will use that directory instead.
dl-fedora downloads the latest mirrored image redirected from
download.fedoraproject.org by default.
If you want to ensure getting the very latest image you can use --latest,
which will then download from dl.fedoraproject.org instead
if your mirror is not synced yet.
If the image is already found to be downloaded it will not be re-downloaded of course. Curl is used to do the downloading: partial downloads will continue.
A symlink to the latest iso is also created:
eg for rawhide it might be "Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-Rawhide-latest.iso".
It also tries to check the iso checksum and its gpg signature.
