I have Fedora rawhide installed and in the last update I'm seeing it mention "Fedora 43" (like in "rpm -E %fedora" returning "43" and in the kernel label). Probably this is due to the branching occurring mentioned in the recent thread: "F42 branch has been completed"
What can I do to stop following Rawhide onward but just stay on Fedora 42?
would this work?
Or is my system polluted and will have to stay on Fedora 43 rawhide or do a full reinstall
Nevermind, I think I'm too early, there's no "42" folder in the base repo yet
https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/
I'd have to hack up my own repo files, I did that and now have this by pointing to the .../development/42/ folders and faking up some unique repo names by just adding "-42" to the end and editing the names:
dnf5 repoinfo (output edited way down for brevity)

Code:
sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=42
sudo dnf system-upgrade reboot
