Thank you, is it possible to try again to search for volunteers before abandoning definitively the RPM packages? Less diversity is a loss for everyone, and maybe people did not fully realize the situation (me including, didn't read the announcement email as I'm still running Caracal 😅). Cross-posting with other mailing lists/IRC/ops meetings could be useful, and if the alternative is RPM discontinuation, more people might be interested. If I can ask, how many people would (ideally) be necessary/how many RPMs are around? Francesco On 06/03/26 17:14, Amy Marrich wrote:
Francesco, Massimo, Jose,
We would love help from the other communities to continue creating the RPMS. We put a call out for volunteers over a year ago[0]. and while folks replied that they wanted to help or attended a meeting no one actually started helping. As a result, we added an important note to the bottom of the Epoxy release announcement[1] explaining that internal developers had moved on and we again said we needed help and to reach out if interested.

I'll also send this to the OpenStack list but respecting Jeremy's decoupling of lists.

Hi all,
given that RDO will soon stop releasing RPMs of OpenStack, it has been suggested on IRC etc that AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux communities might be interested in building the RPMs instead, is there already a discussion about it?
Best regards
