Gregory Kurtzer, the founder of the CentOS project, has kicked off a new venture called Rocky Linux, the aim being to build "a community enterprise operating system designed to be 100 per cent bug-for-bug compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)".
Just days after Red Hat CTO Chris Wright declared that "we will shift our investments to CentOS Stream exclusively on December 31, 2021," the Rocky Linux project has been formed with a new distro "currently under major intensive development by the community," although there is "no ETA at present for a release."
CentOS Linux and CentOS Stream are free community distributions. The problem with CentOS Stream is that it is a development build, although one that is only just ahead of the production release of RHEL. This makes it unsuitable for production use.
The new project's name is a tribute to CentOS co-founder Rocky McGaugh. "He is no longer with us, so as a H/T to him, who never got to see the success that CentOS came to be, I introduce to you... Rocky Linux," said Kurtzer.
The project (such as it is) is on GitHub, though most activity is on a Discourse forum where there is discussion about build infrastructure, branding, whether there might be a Rocky Linux Foundation, and more.
Hayden Young, a software developer and DevOps engineer based at a small company in Sheffield in the UK, has taken on a role as Web/DNS lead for Rocky Linux. "We've just been deploying a bunch of CentOS 8 servers and for them to deliver this news has been quite a blow," he told us.
What's wrong with CentOS Stream? "It is going to be upstream to RHEL instead of downstream," he said. "It's being used as a development platform more than a free, incredibly stable, secure operating system. And with that is going to come a lot of problems with updates, support long-term and things like that."
Does Rocky Linux have the momentum it needs to succeed? "Too soon to call," he said, "but since Greg's comment, we went from zero to about 750 people in two-and-a-half days," meaning people signing up to the Slack group, Discourse forum or IRC (internet chat) channels.
What is the hope in terms of getting a first distro out? "An optimistic view would be middle to end of Q1 next year, pessimistic closer to halfway through 2021. We will definitely have something ready well in advance of the end of 2021" – which is when CentOS 8 goes out of support.
