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) - 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)
