Building AlmaLinux without RHEL sources - ATO 23

Описание: Session: Building AlmaLinux OS without RHEL sources
Presented as part of All Things Open, 2023: https://2023.allthingsopen.org/sessio...

AlmaLinux OS has historically been built to be an exact copy of RHEL, using RHEL’s provided resources. With RedHat’s shift away from sharing the full building blocks on git.centos.org, the AlmaLinux team has been hard at work to find a new, reliable path forward. Come hear about what we’ve been doing since June, and what we’re planning for the future.

0:00 Intro
0:38 The history of how AlmaLinux came to be, and our first couple of years of expansion
8:14 Overview of all of the accomplishments in the AlmaLinux community in the first 2 years
9:35 How AlmaLinux decided to shift from 1:1 rebuild of Red Hat, to binary compatibility with Red Hat
11:26 What RHEL compatibility means for AlmaLinux OS.
14:56 What is next for AlmaLinux OS?
25:09 Q&A Begins
25:30 "What is your perspective and thoughts on OpenELA?
27:07 "Are you worried that Red Hat is going to throw more wrenches?"
28:06 "How are things going in the code trenches, after Red Hat initially declined the pull request that caused disruption this summer?"
30:01 "Long term, do you think the decisions that Red Hat has made in the 3 years push people to an alternative outside the Red Hat ecosystem?"
31:50 "Do you think Red Hat is violating the GPL by not releasing the kernel updates that they ship in their own OS?"
35:07 "If the updates that we're shipping can deviate from Red Hat if our community is asking for it, how do I know that I'm not getting updates that some random person is asking for?"
