This package can produce multiple variants of `rocky-release`:
|
||||
|
||||
* Stable: `rocky-release`, `rocky-repos`, `rocky-gpg-keys`, etc
|
||||
* LookAhead: All packages appended with `-lookahead`
|
||||
* Beta: All packages appended with `-Beta`
|
||||
* Beta: All packages appended with `-beta`
|
||||
|
||||
* If `--with=rllookahead` or `--with=rlbeta` are set in mock, those variants are built
|
||||
* If both are set the same time, build will fail

### 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.
|
||||
|
||||
### What about after the five year mark?
|
||||
|
||||
LookAhead will no longer be produced as the major version will then be in
|
||||
maintenance only mode.
|
||||
It provides an opportunity to do self testing of various kinds. In most cases,
|
||||
a rocky-release package for the upcoming minor release will be built normally
|
||||
and doesn't require the variant release packages. However, the option is at
|
||||
least available for those who want to test something in particular and override
|
||||
the default rocky-release packages.
