  • 1.  Toolbox ESS image versions?

    Posted 06/08/26 10:16 AM

    Howdy all!

    I know that we need Python 3.12 for OpenSSL Tech Preview 3.5.  What version is the DNF and Python in the 12/2025 image on ESS?

    Thanks!

    Hi Jan,

    Sorry for the delay.

    In 12/2025 image python is 3.12 and dnf is 4.2.17 with python3.9. I will reconfirm on the dnf version tomorrow.

    Next image update will be  for July SP release.

    Hello Tetsuo

    Since this thread was specifically about the ESS Toolbox images, 

    I recommend that you post this question as a new thread to ensure you get a prompt and applicable response.

    Good luck!
