Mike Rochefort :fedora:

Linux sysadmin in the feature animation industry and FOSS advocate. Solve problems, don't make more!

I secretly work on software that will never be released due to not having any idea what I'm doing... but I do excel at coming up with bad ideas 😈

There's an art degree laying around somewhere in my home, so I'm always down to talk about #animation, #vfx, #cgi, and #music!

There's two trifectas in play; if the GOP seize control of the presidency, senate, and house of representatives then we are screwed from the governing side of things.
But the more terrifying aspect is it would complete the real trifecta of the executive, legislative, and judicial (Supreme Court). At that point all checks and balances cease to exist (more so than they already have) and we are well and truly fucked.
This is not a happy timeline to be living in.

The first step would be to get your package added to Fedora. From there, it can be provided to the EPEL branches to make it available to RHEL-like platforms.

That... is most definitely bizarre. I haven't had an issue like that since the total outage in like, 2018. I would check spam, filters, and quarantine/blocked domains to make sure nothing's amiss. You should also hop into you account dashboard and check the mail options there.

I have a smattering of gmail accounts built over the years but my primary domains are through Zoho.
I use Thunderbird for mailing list responses, though, as Zoho's web client doesn't support line character limits.

Think rheleng would be game for doing that?

Trimmed due to character limits, was trying to get as much in verbatim without paraphrasing.

Just so I'm on the same page, are you suggesting the following?
ID="rhel"
ID_LIKE="centos fedora"
ID="centos"
ID_LIKE="rhel fedora"

We actually had this conversation back in 2021 for CentOS, I having a feeling the opinions on the matter haven't changed.

As for "is RHEL 'like' Fedora Linux?": Yes.
ID="rhel"
ID_LIKE="fedora"
CentOS is the odd one out in this regards, as from a strictly interpreted standards POV, CentOS should have the above ID_LIKE and RHEL's should be "centos fedora". Instead we have the above and:
ID="centos"
ID_LIKE="rhel fedora"

It seems pretty clear to me...
"It should list identifiers of operating systems that are closely related to the local operating system in regards to packaging and programming interfaces ... An OS should generally only list other OS identifiers it itself is a derivative of, and not any OSes that are derived from it ... Operating systems should be listed in order of how closely the local operating system relates to the listed ones..."
