The tests are using a now archived Fedora29 release. Switch to the
most recent Fedora41 release.

I think we should rather avoid the very latest and greatest Fedora URLs 
here... they will be invalid in a couple of months after Fedora 43 has been 
released. And if we keep switching the test assets all the time, this will 
make it more difficult to bisect regressions in the future.

So we should point to the latest archive (fedora38) then ?

Either that, or simply keep the f29 kernel ... what do we gain by switching 
to a newer one here? Is it testing more hardware?

Yes. Usually HW support is added gradually to the kernel and
the later one offers better support.

Any how, that's fine, f29 works good enough.

Neither of the URLs here should change, as both are using the
archives.fedoraproject.org server which carries all historic
content.

Indeed but the files below :

   https://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/<rel>/

are moved under

   https://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora-secondary/<rel>/

every 2 releases and QEMU tests will break :/

In my tests, I prefer to use the latest FW/Linux images because
HW support should be better, which is always good to exercise a
bit more the QEMU models.

That said, older images (f29) should keep on working too on PPC.

Thanks,

C.
