I have been helping with AlmaLinux adding support back to AlmaLinux 9 and will be verifying it also works with AlmaLinux 10 soon as well. I can certainly help with this as we really need this to support our ppc64le openstack cluster.
Great ! Happy to also onboard you (if Sandra agrees but I guess that it shouldn't be a problem)
Where do we want to start ? This was my plan :
- identify which packages need to be modified to just enable back
missing "feature" (I have a short list but probably more to have a look at)
- create some git repositories under https://gitlab.com/CentOS/virt/rpms
(like libvirt , being the obvious one, etc)
I need to come up with an accurate list, but I have cloned most of the rpms from the AlmaLinux repository and hosted them on our Gitlab instance [1]. There are other unrelated RPMs in that group, but you can see some of the changes I made. If you want, I can make proper MR's to the upstream repositories.
Keep in mind, the changes I have in these repos are specifically for getting this to work on AlmaLinux 9, but it should work with 10 as well in theory.
Let me know how you'd like to proceed.
[1] https://git.osuosl.org/rpms?sort=latest_activity_desc
- push corresponding sources to lookaside cache
- test some builds on https://cbs.centos.org, using -candidate tag first
- build these against CentOS Stream 10 for now (and eventually RHEL10 so
after, when it will be available)
The problem is more about where to test this but I should have access to a Power9 that I'd like to convert from RHEL8 to Stream 10 and see how that goes.
@Lance : how do you want to sync up about this ? this list is ok but we can also use either irc or matrix (I prefer IRC myself but probably because I'm "old" :p)
I prefer Matrix but I also have IRC. If you use IRC, just use Ramereth[m].
