A summary of how RHEL clones are responding to changes in RedHat's source code distribution |
|
A lot has been going on over the past few months in the communities of clones of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. These clones, most of them made available to the public free of charge, recently had to deal with Red Hat changing the way it distributes source code and to whom. Since then a lot has happened, with various organizations scrambling to find solutions or workarounds to losing access to Red Hat's source code in the middle of a release cycle. It can be challenging to keep up with all the developments and the solutions each clone is trying. FOSS Force has a summary of what has happened so far and what the major clones are doing to stay running and compatible with Red Hat's distribution. "I'd been covering this story since before there was an AlmaLinux. Actually, longer than that. I'd been covering this story since CentOS, as a downstream version of RHEL, seemed to have a long future. I had been covering this story since the days when CentOS's existence was proof that Red Hat understood that the vision that gave birth to free software, FOSS, and open-source was about much more than computer software, but was born out of a cultural awakening that transcended the brief revolutionary renaissance that was the 1960s, an awakening that went all the way back to the mystery schools that were still around at the end of the dark ages to protect knowledge from the coming inquisition." |
