Dear Maintainer,

	The shipped packages files refer to distributions that are
	so old they have been moved to archive repositories, and are
	no longer available.  The result is that rinse does not generate
	a chroot environment.

sudo rinse --distribution fedora-37 --directory fedora37 --arch amd64
Failed to fetch : http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/37/Everything/x86_64/os/Packages/
        404 Not Found

On failing, it leaves proc and sys bind-mounted in the new chroot.

The same occurs for centos-7, centos-8, fedora-36.  opensuse
fails because signing keys have expired.

It would be nice to be able to install current versions, like centos-10-stream, or fedora-43

Hi Peter,

I will only concentrate on Alma Linux and Rocky Linux support in
rinse. If you have patches for other distributions, I' happy to
include them. I may remove the outdated distributions in the next
rinse version.
