OpenELA Launches Rapid Delivery of Enterprise Linux Build Sources
Quoting: OpenELA Launches Rapid Delivery of Enterprise Linux Build Sources —
In a significant advancement for enterprise Linux users, OpenELA has introduced an innovative automated process that allows rapid and reliable access to Linux sources soon after new releases.
This development is poised to benefit independent software vendors, hardware vendors, processor manufacturers, and independent developers by providing the essential sources needed to create downstream Enterprise Linux distributions.
OpenELA’s new system has already demonstrated its effectiveness by making packages from the latest Red Hat Enterprise Linux releases, namely RHEL 9.4 and RHEL 8.10, available within just a few days of their release. This quick turnaround is available on OpenELA’s GitHub repository page.

OpenELA automates rapid access to enterprise Linux
More specifically, developers using enterprise Linux in fast-moving compute and analytics environments will want to know which version of major distros from Red Hat, SuSE, Debian, Fedora, Oracle Linux or other they should be using in any given deployment scenario… and, more importantly, they will want to know where and how to get it.
The Open Enterprise Linux Association (OpenELA) now offers an automated process to make new enterprise Linux sources available just days after each release of new versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL).

OpenELA Sets New Standard For Linux Source Accessibility With Automated System
OpenELA boosts Linux source accessibility with a new automated system, offering rapid and reliable access to the latest RHEL versions for developers and vendors.
The Open Enterprise Linux Association (OpenELA) has implemented an automated system that releases new enterprise Linux sources shortly after each new version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) is launched. The latest packages, including those for RHEL 9.4 and RHEL 8.10, are now accessible at https://github.com/orgs/openela-main/repositories.
This swift action by OpenELA highlights its role as a valuable resource for independent software vendors (ISVs), independent hardware vendors (IHVs), processor manufacturers, independent developers, and others who require prompt, dependable, and secure access to enterprise Linux sources for their downstream projects.

OpenELA Liberates Red Hat Enterprise Linux Source Code
The battle between Red Hat and the Red Hat Enterprise Linux clone distributors takes another turn as the Open Enterprise Linux Association announced that it’s made the source code openly available for RHEL 9.4 and RHEL 8.10.
I know what you’re thinking. Isn’t Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) source code already publicly available? I mean, Linux is the poster child for open source. Well, yes and no. In July 2023, Red Hat announced that “CentOS Stream will now be the sole repository for public RHEL-related source code releases. For Red Hat customers and partners, source code will remain available via the Red Hat Customer Portal.”
CentOS Stream is a continuously delivered development distro of RHEL. It’s not the enterprise-ready stable version of Linux. The RHEL clone distributors, such as AlmaLinux OS, Oracle Linux, SUSE Liberty Linux, and Rocky Linux, were ticked off.
AlmaLinux decided to work by Red Hat’s rules. It used the CentOS Stream codebase. CIQ, the company backing Rocky Linux, Oracle, and SUSE, elected to form the Open Enterprise Linux Association (OpenELA). Its goal is to help create “distributions compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) by providing open and free enterprise Linux source code.”
