Release 44.3 - 2026-06-10

Mock Core Configs changes

• Set bootstrap_image_ready=True for AlmaLinux configs. AlmaLinux container images now have python3-dnf-plugins-core available by default, so Mock skips updating the bootstrap chroot after extracting the image.

• The fedora-release-eln package was renamed to fedora-eln-release; the Mock configuration that explicitly lists this package in chroot_setup_cmd has been adjusted accordingly.

• Re-enabled container-based bootstrap for AlmaLinux 10 and AlmaLinux Kitten 10 x86_64_v2 configs. The use_bootstrap_image = False workaround is no longer needed and has been removed.

• Added RISC-V 64-bit architecture support for Fedora 44. The config uses the RISC-V Koji infrastructure at riscv-koji.fedoraproject.org.
