Hello Stargazers!

We are removing freeipa-client permanently from Aurora because it is breaking our updates. Among other issues, there are multiple issues, in particular this upstream ostree/bootc bug and this bug. Our change is tracked in this PR, and the related SELinux policy discussion is on the Fedora SELinux issue tracker.

If you depend on freeipa-client, you can build a custom image with the package re-added as a layer. New stable images with the package removed will be pushed out shortly. Thanks to RoyalOughtness for tracking this down!

Cheers ~Niklas

Hello Stargazers, today we look back at the year 2025 for Aurora and also check in to year 2026. This article will contain most of the same material as the Bluefin Year End Wrapup with some Aurora-specific updates added.

This article is going to be on the longer side, so grab your favorite drink and let's get on with it!

Just a quick update on the last few weeks. We have continued to streamline our build pipeline and today we have mostly finished the biggest parts of the work.

Our coneheads have always had a bond with dinosaurs so we have worked with the bluefin people on most of this stuff.

A couple of weeks have went by from our last update. And Winter is indeed coming, atleast here in the North 😄

Hello stargazers, welcome to this first post on the Aurora Blog!! Exciting things to follow.
