How to submit / publish a package to Rocky Linux?

I’m a developer for developing a Chinese input method (to be specific, ibus-cangjie). Our input method has been part of Fedora (and Ubuntu) main repositories for at least 10 years now. But for some reason, it is not available for dnf installation on Rocky Linux.

I’d like to know what is the procedure / practice for submitting or publishing our software on Rocky Linux?

Hi,

Rocky is based on RHEL, and if RHEL doesn’t have it in their default repositories, then it won’t be in Rocky’s either. You may be better actually asking for it to be submitted to EPEL repositories instead since it’s more likely to be accepted their than actually appear in RHEL’s default repositories.

Another alternative would be to work with the Rocky SIG teams, as there is the potential it could also be available there instead of EPEL. However, that would limit it just to Rocky, rather than having it globally available to the EL ecosystem via EPEL.

Which should make adoption to EPEL relatively easy.


At least formally CentOS Stream would be the way to provide something into RHEL.
