[GF-Users] EL10 and x86_64-v2 Request for Comments

[Peter Ajamian]

Hi Everyone,

I'm currently working to create an EL10 branch of Ghettoforge and I have 
a choice to make, so I'm asking for input here.

RHEL10 (and most derivatives) do not support x86_64-v2 anymore but 
require at least x86_64-v3.  Currently the lone exception is that Alma 
Linux has a v2 release of EL10 and has built EPEL for v2 as well.  So 
this leaves me with one of three options:

1.  Just build GF10 against Rocky Linux as I have since EL8 and not have 
support for x86_64-v2.  This should be fine for the vast majority of users.

2.  Build GF10 against Alma Linux 10 x86_64-v2.  Since 
backward-compatibility is a thing with x86_64 it will work fine for v3 
distros as well but it means that Ghettoforge packages will not benefit 
from the additional performance-enhancing features of x86_64-v3.

3.  Build GF10 against both with separate v2 and v3 repositories.  This 
will require a lot more work and is something that I would rather avoid 
unless there is a lot of demand for it.

So ... At this stage I am leaning towards options1 unless I get 
significant feedback from people wanting v2 support then it will be 
either option 2 or 3 above depending on the exact feedback I get.

Please respond here and let me know,


Thanks,


Peter Ajamian
