Rocky Linux introduces security repository |
 |
The Rocky Linux distribution is a clone of Red Hat Enterprise Linux which aims to be 1:1 compatible with the upstream product. This means both features and bugs which exist in Red Hat's product should be exactly mirrored in Rocky Linux. Over the past year, and especially in the past month, the security cost of maintaining 1:1 compatibility with Enterprise Linux has become apparent. Rocky Linux developers have found themselves waiting for security fixes to be published by Red Hat while other members of the RHEL family, such as AlmaLinux OS, have already published security patches.
Rocky Linux is addressing this security gap by creating an optional security repository which will publish patches not yet available to RHEL customers. "Alongside the Dirty Frag kernel patches, we've introduced the Rocky Linux Security Repository: an optional, opt-in repository that gives us a path to ship urgent security fixes ahead of upstream when circumstances genuinely demand it. This was not a casual decision. Rocky's founding principle is compatibility with upstream Enterprise Linux, and any departure from that deserves scrutiny. The security repository represents a narrow, deliberate exception, not a change in direction."
