Release Files
The following table lists the openEuler release files, including the ISO release packages, container images, VM images, and repo sources used online.
Table 1 openEuler release files
| Directory | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ISO | ISO release packages | The directory differentiates the ISO release packages for the AArch64, x86, and source, respectively. The details are as follows:
Note: Each ISO release package has its own verification file, which is used to verify the integrity of the ISO release package. |
| docker_img | Container images | The openEuler container image, which provides only the basic bash environment, is used as the basic container image. The directory differentiates the container images for the AArch64 and x86 architectures, respectively. Note: Each container image has its own verification file, which is used to verify the integrity of the container image. |
| virtual_machine_img | VM images | The openEuler VM image provides only the basic running environment to shorten the VM deployment time. The directory differentiates the VM images for the AArch64 and x86 architectures, respectively. Note:
|
| EPOL | Repo sources | The repo sources of the openEuler third-party software package are mainly contributed by third parties and communities, and are maintained by the providers. The directory differentiates the repo sources for the AArch64 and x86 architectures, respectively. |
| OS | The repo source of the openEuler basic installation software package provides the offline version upgrade function. The content of the software package is the same as that of the basic installation software package ISO in the ISO release package. The directory differentiates the repo sources for the AArch64 and x86 architectures, respectively. | |
| debuginfo | The repo source of the openEuler debugging software package provides the online download function. The content of the software package is the same as that of the debugging software package ISO in the ISO release package. The directory differentiates the repo sources for the AArch64 and x86 architectures, respectively. | |
| everything | The repo source of the openEuler full software package provides the online download and version upgrade functions. The content of the software package is the same as that of the full software package ISO in the ISO release package. The directory differentiates the repo sources for the AArch64 and x86 architectures, respectively. | |
| source | The repo source of all source code software packages in the openEuler community, which is used online by developers. | |
| update | The repo source of the openEuler upgrade software package, which is used to fix bugs and common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVE) in released versions and to update and release software with enhancements. It provides online download and software upgrade functions. The directory differentiates the repo sources for the AArch64 and x86 architectures, respectively. |
