keep repository simlinks ahead of fedora schedule

[judovana]

With https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/ThirdPartyLegacyJdks finished, it would be nice if symlinks in rpm repository would appear before release of fedora, and even better, before branching of fedora (3months before release, in half of the cycle)

That expects to add f41 (#1046) and rawhide now. And f42 in aprox a month. Not sure how to ensure timeliness for future. Maybe the whole 1-99 can be generated for now, and only trimmed once distribution specific issue rise?

Noting that this would also be a valid requirement for Ubuntu which is on a simialr six-monthly cadence

This now works:

podman run -it fedora:rawhide
dnf install -y adoptium-temurin-java-repository
dnf config-manager setopt adoptium-temurin-java-repository.enabled=1
dnf search temurin
dnf install -y temurin-8-jdk

and (at the time of writing) you end up with:

[root@61a1d034bdeb /]# java -version
openjdk version "1.8.0_432"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (Temurin)(build 1.8.0_432-b06)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (Temurin)(build 25.432-b06, mixed mode)
[root@61a1d034bdeb /]#

Yup. Noted. Thanx! There may be an reason to reopen the bug - how to keep this permanent, and do not forget add eg f49?

I think keeping on top of new distributions is a generic thing at the project so we just need to plan in a review every six months. We're in a position where we're new ones for testing more frequently, so I'd like to try and do updates to the distributions for both testing and the installers as one action item (until we put something in place to get us version-neutral in the repo files)
