Fedora Distro Aliases

Some projects such as Tito, Packit, Fedora Review Service, etc operate over currently active Fedora releases. They can use this package to find their version numbers instead of manually defining a list.

This package queries Bodhi to find the active releases and therefore requires an internet connection.

REUSE status

Supported aliases

Alias name Description
fedora-all All active Fedora releases
fedora-stable All stable Fedora releases

Installation

The package is available in the Fedora repositories:

dnf install python3-fedora-distro-aliases

Alternatively, you can install it from PyPI

pip3 install fedora-distro-aliases

Usage

>>> from fedora_distro_aliases import get_distro_aliases
>>> aliases = get_distro_aliases()

Distribution names and their versions.

>>> [x.namever for x in aliases["fedora-all"]]
['fedora-38', 'fedora-39', 'fedora-rawhide']

Append architectures and you have Mock chroot names

>>> [f"{x.namever}-x86_64" for x in aliases["fedora-all"]]
['fedora-38-x86_64', 'fedora-39-x86_64', 'fedora-rawhide-x86_64']

Branch names in DistGit:

>>> [x.branch for x in aliases["fedora-all"]]
['f38', 'f39', 'rawhide']

Only version numbers:

>>> [x.version for x in aliases["fedora-all"]]
['38', '39', 'rawhide']

If you need a numeric version even for rawhide:

>>> [x.version_number for x in aliases["fedora-all"]]
['38', '39', '40']
