The ALESCo organization has made an important announcement regarding the support of Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) for the x86_64_v2 architecture on AlmaLinux 10 Stable. This effort ensures that EPEL packages are built from Fedora's source RPMs (SRPMs), allowing for consistent feature parity with Fedora and facilitating long-term support for users. The newly available EPEL packages are now fully operational and can be accessed via the AlmaLinux Build System, ensuring they are monitored, rebuilt, and signed with a dedicated GPG key for security before being released into a specific repository.
To utilize EPEL on AlmaLinux 10 Stable, users need to run a simple command in their terminal: `dnf install epel-release`, which will enable access to the repository. If any issues arise with packages that have the `.alma_altarch` suffix, users are encouraged to report these bugs on the AlmaLinux Bug Tracker. Should the issue occur on a standard EPEL system, it can be reported to the EPEL packager as usual.
Upgrading versions using the ELevate tool poses significant complexities and requires considerable effort. The AlmaLinux community is actively seeking contributors to assist with this process. Those interested in supporting this feature or engaging with the packaging project can do so by joining discussions in the AlmaLinux Community Chat, Reddit, Fediverse, or X.
In summary, the introduction of EPEL support for x86_64_v2 on AlmaLinux 10 Stable marks a significant development for users, providing them with access to a wider range of packages while ensuring they receive timely updates and support. The community's collaborative spirit invites contributions and feedback, which are vital for the ongoing success and improvement of the AlmaLinux ecosystem
