Fedora 22 for POWER is here!
by Peter Robinson 02 Jun '15

02 Jun '15

We are proud to announce the official release of Fedora 22 for POWER, the community-driven and community-built operating system now available in Cloud and Server editions. If that's all you need to hear, jump over to Get Fedora to download -- or for current users, run the FedUp upgrade tool. * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PowerPC/F22/Installation * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedUp In addition to the latest versions of all your favorite free and open source software, Fedora 22 marks our second release with distinctly-targeted offerings for cloud computing, and the server room. Thanks to the hard work of developers, designers, packagers, translators, testers, documentation writers, and everyone else, we're incredibly confident in saying that this is our best and most polished release yet. Also with this release, we return to our traditional six-month cadence -- we'll see you back here sometime around Halloween! Highlights in the Fedora 22 release =================================== Every Fedora release has its own character. If this release had a human analogue, it'd be Fedora 21 after it'd been to college, landed a good job, and kept its New Year's Resolution to go to the gym on a regular basis. What we're saying is that Fedora 22 has built on the foundation we laid with Fedora 21 and the work to create distinct editions of Fedora focused on the desktop, server, and cloud (respectively). It's not radically different, but there are a fair amount of new features coupled with features we've already introduced but have improved for Fedora 22. Fedora Cloud ------------ The Fedora 22 Cloud edition has debuted for POWER in this release. In it's first release there are base cloud images that should be of interest to users and developers. * Fedora cloud base edition for qcow2 and raw images. Fedora Server ------------- * Database Server Role -- The Fedora Server edition focuses on easy of different server roles. Fedora 21 debuted with an Domain Controller Role featuring FreeIPA. For this release, we've added a Database Server role, built around PostgreSQL. * Default to XFS filesystem -- The default file system type for Fedora Server installs will be XFS running atop LVM for all partitions except /boot. The /boot partition will remain a non-LVM, ext4 partition due to technological limitations of the bootloader. * Cockpit will be compatible between OS releases -- Cockpit is a server manager that makes it easy to administer your GNU/Linux servers via a web browser. - Easy to use. Cockpit is perfect for new sysadmins, allowing them to easily perform simple tasks such as storage administration, inspecting journals and starting and stopping services. - No interference. Jumping between the terminal and the web tool is no problem. A service started via Cockpit can be stopped via the terminal. Likewise, if an error occurs in the terminal, it can be seen in the Cockpit journal interface. - Multi-server. You can monitor and administer several servers at the same time. Other changes of note ===================== Faster and better dependency management with DNF ------------------------------------------------ With Fedora 22, we're introducing a major change under the hood. Specifically, we're now using DNF and hawkey to manage packages. DNF is much like the Yum software package manager (it's largely command-line compatible), but re-written and re-engineered to provide optimal performance and (along with Hawkey) provide a strict API definition for plugins and extending projects. DNF also makes use of the libsolv library initially pioneered by the openSUSE Project to provide faster and better dependency management. It also boasts a better performance and memory footprint vs. Yum, and is designed to have a cleaner codebase and be easier to maintain. If you're using the Fedora 22 Workstation edition, and managing packages with the Software Application, odds are you won't notice a difference. Server and Cloud users who fall back on Yum commands will receive a reminder (courtesy of dnf-yum) that Yum is deprecated and DNF is now the default package manager. DNF has been in development for quite some time, so we're confident it's ready for prime time. The classic Yum command line tool has been renamed to yum-deprecated as a transitional step for tools still using it. See Read The Docs for compatibility changes from Yum to DNF in detail. GNU Compiler Collection 5 ------------------------- Fedora 22 comes with GCC 5.1 as the primary compiler suite. Downloads, upgrades, documentation, and common bugs ================================================== You can start by downloading Fedora 22: * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PowerPC/F22/Installation If you are upgrading from a previous release of Fedora, refer to: * http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrading Fedora's FedUp utility enables an easy upgrade to Fedora 22 from previous releases. See the FedUp page on the Fedora wiki for more information: * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedUp Documentation ------------- Read the full release notes for Fedora 22, guides for several languages, and learn about known bugs and how to report new ones: * http://docs.fedoraproject.org/ Fedora 22 common bugs are documented at: * http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F22_bugs This page includes information on several known non-blocker bugs in Fedora 22. Please be sure to read it before installing!
