I assume you meant _images/fedora.yaml.
I wonder why we wouldn't use the "Cloud-Base-Generic" image though, like we do for the other archs: https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/risc-v/release/42/Cloud/riscv64/images/Fedora-Cloud-Base-Generic-42.20250414-8635a3a5bfcd.riscv64.qcow2
If it doesn't work for some reason, then we should add a comment about that.
I also haven't checked if the image updater supports this new image URL? We need to be careful that the image updater doesn't start updating only some of the images in a particular template.

We can use that one instead.

I tried the update script and it doesn't update anything at this point. The path doesn't match (/pub/alt) and the metadata is at https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/imagelist-alt instead of https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/imagelist-fedora.
I assume as riscv64 becomes a fully supported architecture in Fedora, the images will eventually end up in the normal location.

Do you want to update fedora-41.yaml too?
Also wonder if we can cover alt/risc-v in https://github.com/lima-vm/lima/blob/master/hack/update-template-fedora.sh

I didn't realise we had 41. Yep, I'll test that it boots and add it.

I spent a few minutes trying to hack it in, but I didn't get it working. I'm not as much of a shell wizard as rhe author of those scripts!
The Debian image is the latest from unstable as there's no release yet for riscv64. The Fedora 41 and 42 cloud images hosted at the 'alt' location. It's not clear how often this will be updated, so the URL may become stale at some point. Signed-off-by: Joel Stanley <jms@tenstorrent.com>

Fedora 41 booted fine, so I've added that. |

Fedora is a Fedora 42 cloud image. It's not clear how often this will be updated, so the URL may become stale at some point.
