It's socket-activated, so doesn't really take up memory unless you actively use it.

Jira is, uh, not my favorite software (ask my manager), but "AI-based replacement Jira" is the worst AI thing I've heard, and that's saying _a lot_.

Yes

In Fedora, we don't "support" third-party packages or installation of software because we can't do much about it if something is wrong. You should go to the provider of the softwar…

lol

What's wrong with you?

It's not necessarily about being "one program". It's this part: "The “Corresponding Source” for a work in object code form means all the source code needed to generate, install, an…

ChatGPT, for all its amazingness, _never_ follows instructions. It just appears to, as it generates likely text. This is incredibly important to understand — it isn't a generalized…

LOL wow that's an old-school deep cut!

I don't know about "sed-replace", but you can download the RHEL selinux-policy source package from https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/rpms/selinux-policy

> There is no any guarantees Stream doesn't break ABI compatibility. This is incorrect. Or, sure, there are no _guarantees_, but any such break would also break a future RHEL relea…

Or, access every part of it for free with no strings attached here: https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream

Try https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/package-browser You should also be able to use yum/dnf to download the srpms from your dev program system.

I don't know the specifics but I would be surprised if this isn't one of the areas under consideration.

To be clear, I'm RHEL and CentOS _adjacent_, rather than actively _in_ them. But I think (rough launch and more than a few communication issues) aside this is generally gonna be po…

In complete seriousness, I think there are three broad categories: * Use cases which actually despite the fears will be covered just fine by Stream * Use cases which will be covere…

I can totally reassure you on your last concern: everything that goes into Stream is approved for a minor release in RHEL. That's not changing at all. Cutting edge is still Fedora'…

Change is scary.

Right, so: for this case, CentOS Stream will be virtually identical to the CentOS Linux RHEL rebuild.

Okay, this is a serious question. For me, not an official RH position. In my time in HPC, nodes were baked with a specific image and then that basically never ever got updates. As …

> Red Hat still has to release the patches, right? Whether or not Red Hat "has to", Red Hat is an all open source company and does and will.

Fedora releases every six months. RHEL has a major release every three years, with minor releases every six months. The major release of RHEL is usually forked from a Fedora versio…
