OpenELA accelerates Linux source accessibility with a new automated system, providing fast and reliable access to the latest RHEL versions for developers and vendors.

The Open Enterprise Linux Association (OpenELA) has implemented an automated system that releases new Enterprise Linux sources immediately after each new version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) is launched. The latest packages, including RHEL 9.4 and RHEL 8.10, are now accessible at https://github.com/orgs/openela-main/repositories.

This expedited action by OpenELA highlights its role as a valuable resource for independent software vendors (ISVs), independent hardware vendors (IHVs), processor manufacturers, independent developers, and others who need prompt, reliable, and secure access to enterprise Linux resources for them. have Downstream projects.

“Anyone interested in creating a downstream build can access the OpenELA repositories to access the sources they need,” said. Gregory Kurtzer, CEO, CIQ and founding member of OpenELA. “Since we don’t create the actual builds and only provide trusted access to the sources, we can move faster and empower the entire open source ecosystem to accelerate the development and distribution of their enterprise Linux builds.”

“If you make a downstream build, we welcome you to join OpenELA,” he said Alan Clarke, CTO, SUSE board member and founding member of OpenELA. “OpenELA’s ability to provide sources to these publications quickly convinced the open source community that now, with OpenELA, access to enterprise Linux sources is reliably available. This is central to the OpenELA mission: sharing with the world that these open source components are here for the taking. , as it should be.”

“OpenELA has automated the downstream distribution build process to help users take advantage of the latest versions of Enterprise Linux as efficiently as possible,” said. Wim Cockaerts, Executive Vice President, Software Development, Oracle and founding member of OpenLA. “By making high-quality source code easily accessible to the enterprise Linux community, OpenELA enables organizations and individuals to streamline the creation of their builds, while gaining the peace of mind that the code is delivered from a trusted and secure source.”
