dl-fedora

GitHub CI Hackage GPL-3 license Stackage Lts Stackage Nightly

A tool for downloading Fedora images. By default it targets the Workstation edition of Fedora.

Usage examples:

dl-fedora rawhide : downloads the latest Fedora Rawhide Workstation Live iso

dl-fedora -e silverblue 33 : downloads the Fedora Silverblue iso

dl-fedora -e kde respin : downloads the latest KDE Live respin

dl-fedora --edition server --arch aarch64 32 : will bring down the F32 Server iso

dl-fedora --run 33 : will download Fedora 33 Workstation and boot the Live image with qemu-kvm.

If the image is already in the Downloads/ directory it will not be downloaded again of course. Curl is used to do the downloading.

A symlink to the latest iso is also created: eg for rawhide it might be "Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-Rawhide-latest.iso".

It also tries to check the iso checksum and its gpg signature.
