Release package - All PR's should be against original/rpms/rocky-release
2021-11-30 19:31:12 +00:00
## Notes for Packagers/Builders
This package produces both stable packages of `rocky-release`
(`rocky-release`, `rocky-repos`, `rocky-gpg-keys`) as well as `rocky-release-lookahead`
(all packages appended with `-lookahead`). By default, it only produces the
"stable" version of the packages.
When building the package, the `rllh` macro can define the behavior of the
build:
* If `rllh` is set to `0` or is undefined, the stable packages are built
2021-11-30 19:32:03 +00:00
* If `rllh` is set to a number higher than `0`, the lookahead packages are built
2021-11-30 19:31:12 +00:00
The `rllh` macro may be versioned out for future use.

### How does this benefit us?
It allows us to track future minor releases from Stream and see how it will
affect us going forward. When a minor release is being branched, the "lookahead"
files can just be copied and a new "stable" release is made in preparation. The
beta of each RHEL tends to stick around for a month before a release is done,
which makes it easier to make sure everything "stays in line" for the most part.
