Describe the issue

It is seen that EOL date for Fedora Linux 42 has been set wrong at various places, release schedule, bodhi. fedora-release, etc We might need to see those and make it uniform.

The correct date should be May 27, 2026 (5 Weeks post the F44 release)

When do you need this? (YYYY/MM/DD)

ASAP

When is this no longer needed or useful? (YYYY/MM/DD)

F42 is EOL

If we cannot complete this, what is the impact?

All users/contributors will be confused.

It would good to fix on bodhi, since the current date there is only 3 days away: 2026-05-13.

Can this not be done as part of the Fedora N+2 release process?

Here is the current status.

Bodhi

Done.

$ bodhi releases info F42
End of Life: 2026-05-27

fedora-release

Stephen Gallagher did the build [1] and the Bodhi update, it's currently sitting in f42-updates-testing, so we should be good there.

fedora-appstream-metadata

I have a PR open [2] and have reached out to @siosm as he usually handles the builds and updates.

F42 release schedule [3]

Well-known pain point. At best a handful of people have access and they are usually very busy. This is not updated and I doubt it will be, until we replace the schedule with something else that can be updated more readily.

This should be done as part of the final release process, so I took the liberty of updating the SOP.

It appears that Timothee merged the PR and did the build [1], so this can be closed now. 👍
