Synopsis

Add docker-buildx and docker-builtkit rpms to Fedora 41. These rpms provide plugins to the Docker command line interface program offering modern container build tooling from the Docker ecosystem.

Additional information

Buildkit is a toolkit for converting source code to build artifacts in an efficient, expressive and repeatable manner. Buildkit is deployed as a plugin to the Docker cli. Buildx is a Docker CLI plugin for extended build capabilities with Buildkit.

Both packages were approved for initial release with F42 and are therefore just now being made available to Fedora users. Adding these rpms to Fedora 41 provides this important capability to build containers with the Docker technology stack using Fedora specific Go language build standards and guideline. The Docker community also provides rpms as an alternative.
