| What We Do |
Release Engineering (SIG/Core) was brought together as a combination of varying expertise (development and infrastructure) to try to fill in gaps of knowledge but to also to ensure that the primary goal of having a stable release of Rocky Linux is reached.
Some of the things we do in pursuit of our mission goals:
- Continuous preparation for upcoming changes from upstream (Fedora and CentOS Stream)
- Distribution release and maintenance
- Design and collaboration for the Peridot build system
- Design and development work to integrate all components together
- Maintenance of the infrastructure used to build and maintain Rocky Linux (such as ansible roles and playbooks)
- Working with the testing team with images and a platform to test
- Providing resources for Special Interest Groups
- Providing assistance and resources for users within the community
"Why the name SIG/Core?"
While not an actual Special Interest Group, the reality is that Release Engineering is ultimately the "core" of Rocky Linux's production. The idea of "SIG/Core" stemmed from the thought that without this group, Rocky Linux would not exist as it is now, so we are "core" to its existence. The other idea was that SIG/Core would eventually branch out to elsewhere. Where this would go, it is uncertain.
