To achieve that we have established some automation using GitLab CI to avoid human interaction as far as possible. For that to work we do need access to the following sources from RHEL (version numbers are just examples): kernel-5.14.0-284.18.1.el9_2.src.rpm or linux-5.14.0-284.18.1.el9_2.tar.xz (which is included in the src.rpm). So far we have downloaded the tarball from git.centos.org/sources However, my understanding is that new versions of these files will not be provided anymore. In fact the example listed here (current RHEL 9 kernel) is already not provided anymore. Is there any way for a CentOS SIG to access these files? Note that it needs to be in a way we can automate the access and even detection of new versions added. Both has been possible so far. In a later stage we also need access to kernel-devel-5.14.0-284.18.1.el9_2.{aarch64,ppc64le,x86_64}.rpm which we have not been able to retrieve from RHEL directly so far, hence we used one of the RHEL rebuilds as a source. With the unknown future of these, we'd prefer to also have a way to access these directly from RHEL. Any help in how we can modify our build automation to continue working after the announced changes are very much welcome. In case there are non we'll very likely have to stop producing artifacts for RHEL (but not for CentOS Stream, obviously). Thanks!
