- SIG Repositories: builds of the kernel, qemu-kvm, and libvirt containing the latest upstream-bound patches.
Would it be possible to make it a SIG requirement to reach out to relevant RHEL Product Owners before the scope is extended to additional components?
Please no. That turns the relationship upside down and invalidates the idea that CentOS is supposed to be a community upstream venue.
This is just a way to avoid duplicate work and that the development activity occurs in the right place.
There are no public CentOS Stream developer meetings or similar resources for most components, otherwise I would have suggested to engage with those.
As an example, CentOS Hyperscale has in the past and will in the future built virtualization components, and we build kernels today. There's no way we'd block that on talking to RHEL POs that we don't even know to do that work.
It's a different SIG, with different goals.
My understanding is that the Nvidia enablement SIG wants to merge most things back into CentOS Stream eventually. The SIG needs to coordinate with CentOS Stream development to some extent, otherwise that's not going to happen.
Thanks, Florian
