Introducing AlmaLinux OS Kitten (AlmaLinux Blog)
Tuesday October 22, 2024. 05:56 PM , from LWN.net
The AlmaLinux project has introduced a new edition called 'Kitten',
which will serve as 'the direct upstream for AlmaLinux OS and is the primary point for the AlmaLinux community to engage and influence the future of AlmaLinux OS'. Not intended for production use, the first release is based on CentOS Stream 10 source, which will eventually be the basis for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 10: Because we anticipated many changes in 10, we wanted to get a head start on building AlmaLinux OS 10. Earlier this year we started setting up infrastructure and the build pipeline for AlmaLinux OS 10, and started testing using CentOS Stream 10's code. Based on this preparation work, we are excited to share that we have successfully built a preview of AlmaLinux OS 10 that we are calling AlmaLinux OS Kitten 10. The first Kitten release previews a number of ways that AlmaLinux will diverge from RHEL 10, including re-enabling frame pointers, including Simple Protocol for Independent Computing Environments (SPICE), and adding packages for Firefox and Thunderbird, which have been dropped from CentOS Stream 10 in favor of Flatpak versions. New installation images for Kitten will be built quarterly. See the release notes for download links, installation instructions, and more information.
