vwbusguy@mastodon.online@Valon_Blue This is a well written article that handles many of the nuances well. One thing to note is that *most* of the RHEL source is still available via CentOS Stream, but very importantly, many security patches hit RHEL first and then Stream later. AlmaLinux in particular was getting those patches out within a day or less of them hitting RHEL and often well before Stream. This makes that task more difficult. AlmaLinux and Rocky might need to pull those from Oracle.

@magnus919 I'm sure there's a lot of that as well, but I think there's been something rotting at the core Redhat for a long time. The pandemic, and IBM, just made it worse; like it has done with a lot of companies.

vwbusguy@mastodon.online@Valon_Blue Speaking of which, it's an odd quirk to this that Oracle Linux appears to be unaffected and continues to publish their sources publicly, so Oracle Linux might end up being the de facto way to get timely RHEL sources for now.

vwbusguy@mastodon.online@Valon_Blue Oracle Linux isn't fully RHEL, though. For example, they don't strip out btrfs support from the kernel like RHEL does. I for one would not be upset if AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux included that. There's a way to do it after the fact with those distros via CentOS Hyperscale repos, but not (in any supported way) for actual RHEL.

vwbusguy@mastodon.online@passthejoe AlmaLinux at least has said they may be supplementing Stream sources with Oracle Linux sources.
