Messinet Secure Services

Messinet Secure Services has upgraded from Fedora 40 to Fedora 41 using the DNF system-upgrade plugin, which simplified the upgrade process on all of our workstations, servers, and systemd-nspawn containers.

Messinet Secure Services has upgraded from Fedora 39 to Fedora 40 and have decommissioned our public Fedora Linux RPM Repository and our Copr Fedora community build services.

We used the DNF system-upgrade plugin, which simplified the upgrade process on all of our workstations, servers, and systemd-nspawn containers.

Unfortunately, a long-standing issue still prevents the MACVLAN interface of a systemd-nspawn container from coming up when the container is restarted. This issue can be worked around by restarting the entire system hosting the container.

After 23 years, Messinet Secure Services will begin winding down a number of services.

• VoIP: Asterisk, Kamailio, RTPengine, WebCDR
• Fedora RPMs: Git interface, Koji
