# Update Redhat Family Image Releases > Update Rocky Linux, AlmaLinux, CentOS Stream, Fedora, or all Red Hat-family container image release files in this repository. Use when requests mention `update rocky`, `update almalinux`, `update centos stream`, `update fedora`, `update redhat-family distributions`, or otherwise ask to bump release RPMs under `image-scripts/images/*`. Follow upstream HTTP repo directory listings, update the matching `build.sh` files, run `./test-runner.sh test image-scripts/test@image-name` for each changed image, and keep commits split per changed image directory. Use when this capability is needed. - Skill: `tomevault-io/update-redhat-family-image-releases` (Agent Skill, multi-file: 2 files) - Install (CLI): `npx skillmds@latest add tomevault-io/update-redhat-family-image-releases` - Raw SKILL.md: https://api.skillmd.com/api/skills/tomevault-io/update-redhat-family-image-releases/raw - Safety review: pending (external: skill-scanner PASS, skillspector PASS) - Works with: Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex - Category: Coding & Dev Tools - Author: tomevault-io (https://skillmd.com/u/tomevault-io) - Updated: 2026-09-17 - Page: https://skillmd.com/skills/tomevault-io/update-redhat-family-image-releases --- # Update Red Hat Family Image Releases ## Overview Update the release-related lines in `image-scripts/images/{rocky-*,almalinux-*,centos-*-stream,fedora-*}/build.sh` by reading the upstream HTTP package listings and then verify each changed image with its matching `image-scripts/test@...` test. ## Quick Start 1. From repo root, run `ruby skills/update-redhat-family-image-releases/scripts/discover_release_updates.rb `. 2. Edit the `build.sh` files reported by the script. 3. Run `./test-runner.sh test image-scripts/test@` for every changed image. 4. Keep one commit per changed image directory, for example `image-scripts: update rocky-9 to `. Use `rocky`, `almalinux`, `centos-stream`, `fedora`, or `all` for ``. ## Workflow ### Select Targets - `rocky`: update every `image-scripts/images/rocky-*` - `almalinux`: update every `image-scripts/images/almalinux-*` - `centos-stream`: update every `image-scripts/images/centos-*-stream` - `fedora`: update every `image-scripts/images/fedora-*` - `all`: update all of the above ### Discover Exact Versions - Never guess RPM filenames or point releases. - Use `scripts/discover_release_updates.rb` to read the current repo state and the upstream directory listings. - Read [references/release-workflow.md](references/release-workflow.md) only when you need the per-family URL and variable rules. - If a stable Fedora image is no longer on the live Fedora releases mirror, treat it as stale repo content to remove instead of chasing archive URLs. ### Edit Only Release-Related Lines - Rocky: update `POINTVER` and `RELEASE`. - AlmaLinux 9/10/future: update `POINTVER` and `RELEASE`. - AlmaLinux 8: update `POINTVER` and `RELEASE`, but leave `BASEURL` and `UPDATES` on `${RELVER}` unless the upstream layout changed. - CentOS Stream: update `RELEASE` to the highest `centos-stream-release--*.rpm` in the major stream's BaseOS packages listing. If the newest RPM embeds a different `` than the current file, update `POINTVER` to match it. Keep `BASEURL` and `UPDATES` on `-stream` unless the upstream layout changed. - Fedora stable: update the shared release suffix in the four `fedora-release*` lines. - Fedora rawhide: update `RAWHIDE_RELVER`; keep the four `RELEASE` lines consistent with it. ### Verify Every Changed Image - Run `./test-runner.sh test image-scripts/test@` for each changed image directory. - If `osvm` or `test-runner` has local changes, run `nix develop .#test-runner -c bundle exec ./test-runner/bin/test-runner test image-scripts/test@` from repo root so the tests use the local code. - Do not skip a changed image because another image in the same family passed. ### Keep Commits Focused - Make one commit per changed image directory, not one commit for the whole family sweep. - Use subjects such as `image-scripts: update rocky-9 to `, `image-scripts: update centos-9-stream release to `, `image-scripts: update almalinux-10 to `, or `image-scripts: update fedora-rawhide release to `. --- > Source: [vpsfreecz/vpsadminos](https://github.com/vpsfreecz/vpsadminos) — distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io).
