Rocky Debrand Packages List

This is a list of packages that require changes to their material for acceptance in Rocky Linux. Usually this means there is some text or images in the package that reference upstream trademarks, and these must be swapped out before we can distribute them.

The first items in this list are referenced from the excellent CentOS release notes here: https://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS8.1905#Packages_modified_by_CentOS

It is assumed that we will have to modify these same packages. It is also assumed that these changed packages might not necessarily be debranding.

However, this list is incomplete. For example, the package Nginx does not appear on the list, and still has RHEL branding in the CentOS repos. We will need to investigate the rest of the package set and find any more packages like this that we must modify.

One way to find said changes is to look for ?centos tags in the SPEC file, while also looking at the manual debranding if there was any for the c8 branches.

There will be cases where a search and replace for ?centos to ?rocky will be sufficient.

Current patches (for staging) are here.
