The Dilemma Facing Downstreams
Red Hat’s recent decision to restrict access to RHEL source repositories has put downstreams such as AlmaLinux in a difficult position. These downstreams have long provided community rebuilds of RHEL that are 1:1 compatible with the original distribution.
AlmaLinux’s New Focus
After careful deliberation, AlmaLinux has decided to shift its focus. Instead of aiming for 1:1 compatibility with RHEL, AlmaLinux will now strive for Application Binary Interface (ABI) compatibility. This means that while the distribution may not be identical to RHEL, it will still be able to run Red Hat-compatible applications and receive timely security updates.
Continued Commitment to Quality
Rest assured, this change will have minimal impact on the average user. AlmaLinux will continue to provide a reliable, enterprise-grade Linux distribution that aligns with RHEL. We remain committed to being good open-source citizens and fully open-source.
Exploring New Possibilities
With this new focus, we will also be exploring other options and possibilities. This change opens up the potential for accepting bug fixes outside of Red Hat’s release cycle, benefiting our users in the long run.
