AlmaLinux drops bug-for-bug compatibility with Red Hat |
|
The AlmaLinux team have announced a change in their mission following the announcement Red Hat would no longer be making its source code for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) available to the public. The project is still aiming to be compatible with RHEL, but is no longer striving for 1:1 (bug-for-bug) compatibility. "For a typical user, this will mean very little change in your use of AlmaLinux. Red Hat-compatible applications will still be able to run on AlmaLinux OS, and your installs of AlmaLinux will continue to receive timely security updates. The most remarkable potential impact of the change is that we will no longer be held to the line of 'bug-for-bug compatibility' with Red Hat, and that means that we can now accept bug fixes outside of Red Hat’s release cycle. While that means some AlmaLinux OS users may encounter bugs that are not in Red Hat, we may also accept patches for bugs that have not yet been accepted upstream, or shipped downstream." The announcement offers additional details. |
