Hi
I see this project takes a lot of input from the community about technologies that are dead upstream
Would any talk about these be possible?
LibreOffice
Xen hypervisor
Xorg
OpenLDAP
Could a fixed release be of interest? Fedora packages them, would packaging from there be an alternative?
Gino
RHEL9 has LibreOffice, Xorg, and OpenLDAP client. EPEL has openldap-servers.
These are thus not “dead” in RHEL nor AlmaLinux.
Overall, EPEL does package “Fedora packages” for EL. Package in EPEL is usable in all EL distros. That is more effective than a package in only one of them (unless that one is RHEL).
Yes but arent they phasing those packages out in their next release?
Also xen should not be in epel last time i checked, but dom0 support is in kernel
@bennyVasquez hi can this be discussed at next Alma engineering meeting? Thank you
Hi there. @Gipozzi1! I don’t think ALESCo has set up an official way to ask these sorts of questions yet, but if you want to attend the next meeting to ask about it, you can find the meeting information here: ALESCo meetings · AlmaLinux Events (Indico)
Too, you can join ~ALESCo on chat.almalinux.org to suggest it as well.
