Updates for Rocky Linux are generally expected to be built and released between twenty-four (24) and fourty-eight (48) hours, assuming best effort allows the packages to build without any complications or unforeseen added dependencies by upstream mid-support cycle. Please see Peridot Issue #18.įor all Rocky Linux versions: When a new minor release arrives, all previous updates/versions are not carried over. Rocky Linux 9 does not currently support this policy and can be expected in a future Rocky Linux 9 version. As such, releases aim to be as on time as possible as they are released upstream.įor Rocky Linux 8, previous versions of packages will coexist in the repositories to allow a user to downgrade in case of a regression or other use cases (such as security only updates).
Rocky Linux attempts to follow the same pattern as Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
