RPM 4.20 Approved For Fedora 41 To Advance Hands-Free Packaging


The Fedora Engineering and Steering Committee (FESCo) has approved RPM 4.20 to land for the Fedora 41 cycle that will debut in H2'2024

A lot of boilerplate code will be able to be removed moving forward from RPM spec files thanks to this declarative build system support. RPM 4.20 also provides file trigger scriptlet arguments, support for spec-local dependency generations, guaranteed per-build directories, a public plug-in API, increased install scriptlet isolation, and other improvements. The RPM 4.20 stable release should be out well ahead of the Fedora 41 debut in October.
