How does Rocky Linux continue to get timely updates from upstream?
Do they have to use shells or other subterfuge?
- hedora 1y agoIt looks like they’re not RHEL compatible any more: https://www.zdnet.com/article/rocky-linux-9-arrives-with-everything-you-need-to-replicate-the-distro-on-your-own/ https://www.zdnet.com/article/rocky-linux-9-arrives-with-eve... That says they pull from CentOS Stream, which I think is upstream from RHEL.
- paulryanrogers 1y agoAccording to this other article [0] they still aim for 1:1 compatibility with RHEL, and not Stream. I also don't see any mention of Stream in the Rocky 9 release notes. EDIT: I wonder if Rocky is still following their original plans to leverage rented VMs [1]?
