Hi Alessandro,
AlmaLinux strives to be a binary-compatible fork of RHEL, typically including all packages found in RHEL. With recent changes, transitioning from a strict bug-to-bug (1:1) to a more flexible approach in binary compatibility, we now have the flexibility to include more packages than RHEL, while still maintaining compatibility. However, this is not the reason why you see fewer packages in RHEL’s Application Streams.
Our AppStream repository contains packages for each release, contained in a minor version dedicated directory, like our latest, 9.3, here: https://repo.almalinux.org/vault/9.3/AppStream/Source/Packages/ https://repo.almalinux.org/vault/9.3/AppStream/Source/Packages/.
We don’t have a separate rolling AppStream per se; it’s integrated within our standard AppStream, but we ensure to include all updates that RHEL provides as well.
Are there any specific packages you’ve found missing in AlmaLinux? I’d be interested to know and help get them built!
Actually I'm not searching other packages but I'm interested in firefox 102 and thunderbird shipped in the rolling stream. Would be great see them on Synergy or in appstream. Best regards, Alessandro.
