For the other major OS’s I can easy find the sources, but where are it for Rocky?  
For CentOS for example:  
[https://git.centos.org/](https://git.centos.org/)  
or Fedora:  
[https://src.fedoraproject.org/](https://src.fedoraproject.org/)

But for Rocky I don’t have find an git source.

Hi @tux

As you can see on the [wiki page](https://wiki.rockylinux.org/links/), the sources are here: [Groups · Explore · GitLab](https://git.rockylinux.org/explore/groups)

Thanks, that was it, what I was looking for.  
Because I need sometime the sources to build hot fixes until the merged into upstream.

No worries!

As there are some patched packages, you might want to read [the wiki pages for these](https://wiki.rockylinux.org/team/release_engineering/debranding/), if you are interested 🙂

But generally the patches are merged in the staging rpms repos, should also be explained somewhere there in the wiki 🤔

There is also a guide in the docs which explains how packages can be built rebuilt against the lookaside package store: [Development Tutorial - Documentation](https://docs.rockylinux.org/guides/package_management/developer_start2/)
