Enabling CRB by default for AlmaLinux 10 To reduce the friction in using software from Fedora Extra Packages from Enterprise Linux (EPEL), we are enabling the CRB repository by default. AlmaLinux OS 10 will have the CRB repository turned on by default via an update in AlmaLinux OS 10.0 on 2025-09-09, while AlmaLinux OS Kitten 10 has had it enabled by default since the update on 2025-08-27 (almalinux-kitten-repos-10.0-9.el10.0.1).
