Fix Fedora IoT upgrades when packages are layered

Geoffrey — Sun, 17 Mar 2024 14:47:36 +0000

I recently installed Fedora IoT on my home server. I layered packages on it.

Recently an upgrade attempt failed resulting in multiple cannot install both messages.

I stumbled upon this bug report: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1928326

The solution is to add the fedora-updates-archive repository. For instance, for Fedora 39:

sudo sh -c "curl https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/fedora-repos/raw/f39/f/fedora-updates-archive.repo > /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates-archive.repo"

rpm-ostree upgrade should now works everytime 🤗

Hi dev.to readers !

I'm thrilled to share with you PikaTorrent ⚡, a cross-platform, open source BitTorrent client. It is currently available on Linux, Windows, and Android.

I'm developing it for a few months with the following tech stack:

Expo for targeting both mobile & web.
Tamagui for the UI kit.
Electron for the desktop app.
Custom libtransmission bindings for Nodejs & react-native.
WebRTC for remote control feature.

Some of PikaTorrent's features are:

A modern, simple user interface, with dark mode support.
Label management, filtering by text or labels, and sorting options.
Share your torrents with your contacts or the world using a direct link. This allows you to share a torrent with someone who may not even be familiar with torrent clients. When the recipients click the share link, they can either open PikaTorrent or download it.
Fast download speeds with low CPU and memory usage, thanks to libtransmission, the same engine written in C++ that powers Transmission.
Integration with search engines. You can customize your favorite torrent search engines. While it will simply open your browser, navigate to the website, and type the query, I believe it's a convenient shortcut.
Link the Android app with the desktop app by scanning a QR code. Advanced users can even run the 'pikatorrent' command line on a headless server and control it from the Android app or app.pikatorrent.com. No need to set up a domain name, TLS certs, etc.

I'm looking for feedback, feel free to join the discord, open issues on Github, or comment below 🤗
