My NAS currently runs CentOS 7, and I’m looking at upgrading it to Rocky Linux 8. I currently use the kernel-plus packages from the CentOSPlus repo, as it includes a couple of modules that aren’t built in the standard EL kernels.
It looks like I’ll need to do something similar on Rocky, as the modules arent in the standard EL8 kernels either; they are included in the CentOS 8 kernel-plus build.
I see that Rocky includes a Rocky-Plus.repo , but the repo itself only contains a single package (openldap-servers-2.4.46-16.el8.x86_64.rpm ).
Does anyone know if there are plans to bring the “Rocky Plus” repos up to parity with CentOS Plus?
I’m from the release engineering team. We have no plans of providing kernel-plus as most things can be taken care of from elrepo. If you find something isn’t there, as @toracat suggested open a bug report with elrepo and they’ll likely be very open to packaging the kmod.
Welp … not what I was hoping to hear, but I do appreciate the forthright answer. I will check out the ELRepo option (or maybe just build them myself, if I can figure out how to use the kABI).
