RHEL is dead, long live rocky

• josephcsible 3y ago
  It sounds like this change is going to kill Rocky too, by limiting it to the buggy beta that is CentOS Stream.

    I thought CentOS Stream is for testing QA'd updates to already-released RHEL versions. (Fedora is for testing stuff to go into future RHEL versions.) So CentOS Stream shouldn't be that buggy, no?

      CentOS Stream is Upstream of RHEL. What is being restricted are the downstream packages of RHEL. Roughly it flows: Fedora -> Centos Stream -> RHEL -> Clones

      I'm going to assume that Red Hat is the expert on relative bugginess of different versions. If RH believed that the betas were actually bug free, then they would just release them as RHEL. Therefore, I conclude that RH considers RHEL beta- sorry, "CentOS Stream", to be buggier than RHEL. The only open question is how much buggier, and I don't know how to tell that.

    > For Red Hat customers and partners, source code will remain available via the Red Hat Customer Portal. Unless there are restrictions, Rocky Linux could sign up to be a Red Hat customer, and get the sources that way.
