I build packages on RHEL 8 and then test on Rocky 8, like I used to test on CentOS 8 in the past. I know that many people want to see Alma Linux as a supported distro, but at some point I had to make a decision which clone should be the "main" supported one -- and that's Rocky Linux.
(I'm not going to start a discussion about who are behind two distros, as this won't be a technical one, and also not related to this list).
I'm quite sure that packages will work on Alma Linux, but no intention to test the packages on yet-another-clone.
Makes sense. All of the clones are supposed to be binary compatible so testing across tons of them would be mostly a waste of time.
I'm happy to set up a build node on Alma and add it to the build farm if that helps everyone feel better about listing Alma as well.
