As far as I can tell this is logically incorrect CentOS/Alma are upstream not downstream and red hat's vision of downstream OSes is they don't exist because that takes a nickel out of IBM's pocket.
- bennyvasquez 3y agoAlmaLinux matches releases and versions with RHEL. More clarification in this 2-minute video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNMnajmyLaA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNMnajmyLaA
- heywoodlh 3y agoYou're correct, I was referring to AlmaLinux's former status of being downstream of RHEL. Additionally, from Red Hat's perspective, AlmaLinux is still downstream of CentOS Stream (and thus a participant of Red Hat's vision for CentOS Stream[0]). > red hat's vision of downstream OSes is they don't exist because that takes a nickel out of IBM's pocket I think CentOS Stream actually contradicts this because (I would imagine) it's a lot of work to maintain and greatly benefits the community -- and Red Hat still makes it freely available for other distributions to base off of.

EDIT: clarified RH's vision for CentOS Stream and added my thoughts on CentOS Stream
- jonathanspw 3y agoTechnically code-wise we're a downstream of CentOS Stream for the most part, but the end result is more of a hybrid because we're targeting RHEL and can match commits to RHEL commits from stream for a lot of it...so yeah. Formerly we were just 100% downstream RHEL with none of this nuance, as you mentioned.
