CentOS Stream is built from the currently released RHEL Source Code + 0.1
So if RHEL 8.3 is released .. Stream is the Source Code (built) that
will become 8.4 in a few months.
If this statement is exactly correct, then I think a lot of the issues in this thread may be easy to address. However, the question is whether it is really
"That will become"
or actually
"That might become, if it turns out to be stable enough,"
I.e., to me the critical question is how often (in practice) will updates that have problems, and will not actually make it into RHEL, end up in CentOS Stream. Presumably all such updates will be superseded in Stream by corrected ones, before they're in RHEL.
In fact, would it be possible, to list the final versions of each package's update at the moment of the RHEL release, and only do the CentOS Stream update based on that list?
There is one source for the source code that will be used. While in
stream it will iterative (the push a bunch of changes today .. the build
those change today). Those go through a CI process and get released
into stream.
When it comes time to build rhel 8.4 it will come from the same source code.
If a bug were to make it into CentOS Stream, and identified before RHEL
8.4 was released, would an updated/fixed package be produced and placed into
CentOS Stream?
If a bug were to make it past CentOS Stream and into RHEL 8.4 and the bug
is then identified and fixed after the release of RHEL 8.4 would an
updated/fixed package be produced and placed into CentOS Stream in the
same timeframe or only if/when updated packages and their dependencies
were made/released into CentOS Stream for updated features for RHEL 8.5?
If the same happened in the previous question but was in a package or set
of packages that was being rebased in 8.5 would it work the same way?
Thanks,
Barry
