Hello all,

Fedora 42 has reached end of life for updates today, 2026-05-28. It was
originally supposed to happen yesterday but there was a slight delay.
Apologies.

No more updates of any kind, including security updates or security
announcements, will be available for Fedora 42 after this date. No pending
updates will be pushed to stable.

Fedora 43 will continue to receive updates until approximately one month
after the release of Fedora 45. The maintenance schedule of Fedora releases
is documented here [1]. The documentation also contains instructions [2] on
how to upgrade from a previous release to a version receiving updates.

Best regards,
Patrik Polakovic
