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 <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.
I had a quick look and it seems that while for el9 kernel was built without kvm support, it seems for stream 10 (and so el10 ?) it's still there. My plan is just to start looking at c10s for now and then eventually see also with you for el9 ? I already started to consolidate some things under https://gitlab.com/CentOS/virt/rpms , and pushed corresponding sources to cbs lookaside (basically a mirror of gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/rpms/<pkg>) I just for the build PoC started with libvirt (built from gitlab.com/centos/virt namespace) : https://cbs.centos.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=60470
Working on some others but let me know if you know some others. I was thinking about a git repo there where we'd be able to sync our tools for git operations etc
Ideally CI testing but that would require access for some machines and that's problematic for now but ideally doable soon
