AlmaLinux unveils two new repositories |
|
The AlmaLinux team have announced the creation of two new package repositories. Now that AlmaLinux OS is no longer committed to being 1:1 bug compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (following Red Hat's policy change regarding source code distribution), the AlmaLinux project is introducing new ways for users to get bug fixes faster and access to a wider range of software packages. "As we mentioned last week, the Testing repository contains security updates that AlmaLinux OS is now able to release without waiting for the patches to be released upstream. As these packages require additional testing before being released, we invite the community to help test them and provide feedback. Note: The Testing repository is recommended only for non-production machines."
The second repository provides extra software not yet available upstream: "The Synergy repository is designed for any possible package that is not present in RHEL or EPEL yet, but has been requested by a member of the AlmaLinux community, for the community. While we do encourage and welcome contributions, as soon as the package appears to be in EPEL it will be removed from the Synergy repository. Moreover, this repository can be enabled for other distros in the Enterprise Linux Ecosystem like RHEL, CentOS, etc." |
