Isn’t Red hat hunting down all the forks currently? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] kitsuneofinari@yiffit.net 2 points 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago) It is a hard fork not a soft fork. Like Alma and Oracle, it will not be 1:1 binary compatible with RHEL anymore. All forks previously were 1:1 binary compatible meaning they were soft forks. Since RHEL killed the soft forks, making 1:1 RHEL clones impossible, all hard forks will divert from RHEL to do their own thing now. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Sjoerd1993@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago (1 child) They’re not hunting for forks one by one, instead they don’t release the source code anymore for non-costumers of RHEL, effectively killing off hard forks. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Hovenko@iusearchlinux.fyi 0 points 3 years ago (1 child) Ah I see. Makes sense. SO what Suse is planning to do is to start at the fork point and just maintain it their own way ? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Sjoerd1993@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago As far as I know they are planning to maintain it their own way. But I’m not exactly sure about the details on how compatible with RHEL they plan it to be in the future, how it will affect their own enterprise release in the long term. permalink fedilink source parent
