a bug or providing an updated image (eg for a newer kernel, a newer secure

boot shim, and so on).

The third format in the list is a symlink to the "latest" ISO. Currently, this
|

is not advertised on the main site, but there may be potential for this in
|

the future as a value add.
|

The third format is also in the case of a rebuilt ISO. This will always point
|
||||
to the absolute latest ISO of its type. This is used for osinfo and may be
|
||||
used on our main website. This serves as a predictable method to download
|
||||
the latest ISO whether from curl/wget or using libvirt that relies on osinfo
|
||||
to provide the download URL.

This is "unversioned" ISO symlink is for these cases:
|
||||
|
||||
* A pre-determined download location for users/mirrors/service providers who
|
||||
want an always available and deterministic download location, which can be
|
||||
easier to script
|
||||
|
||||
* osinfo database / libvirt use where if a user selects Rocky Linux X, it
|
||||
should be aware of and be able to download from that location. This should
|
||||
be fully supported in Rocky Linux 8.7 and 9.1, and future Fedora versions.
|
||||
The fourth format in the list is a symlink to the "latest" ISO. This was
|
||||
originally used as part of osinfo and has been carried over for backwards
|
||||
compatibility reasons.
