Ha ha only joking. However when we started out on building Fedora on the free RISC-V architecture, the goal we decided on was to get every package in the Fedora @Core group built.

I’m happy to announce that we have done that. Almost.

There are two mandatory packages that we’re not building, dracut and plymouth. Luckily neither are relevant to RISC-V at the moment since we’re not using an initramfs and there is no graphical boot device.

Another milestone is we have built more than 5,000 Fedora packages. Fedora has about 18,400 packages in total, so that’s a respectable chunk.

Here is what Fedora/RISC-V looks like when it is booting in QEMU:

Props to Stefan O’Rear, David Abdurachmanov for doing most of the real work.
