🚨 It’s official: RISC-V is coming to Rocky Linux 10!
Built on the upstream work of the Fedora RISC-V community, riscv64gc joins x86_64, aarch64, ppc64le & s390x.
Huge thanks to @fedora@fosstodon.org & @RISC-V!

the @rockylinux.org AltArch SIG (read: @angelsofclockwork.net) has been fighting for the past few weeks with a number of package build failures for the RISC-V port of Rocky Linux 10.

Today they've finally got the latest nodejs LTS built for riscv64gc. One down, a few to go.

Happy Valentines Day!

RESF proposals are now presented in our forums for public consideration and comment. Check it out, and let us know what you think! The latest proposal, "Increase Rocky’s SIG/AltArch SBC support via purchase of needed tools" is available at https://t.co/NpIhNtLb9F
RESF Board Proposal: Increase Rocky's Sig/AltArch SBC support via purchase of needed tools
Note to community. This is a proposal to RESF for funds. In the spirit of open-ness, we want full community transparency and feedback. This proposal has been submitted to the RESF Board but has not been voted on yet. There is time for feedback, comment, and suggestions from the Rocky community. At this time, we (the Rocky leadership) are still trying to figure out the best way of handling proposals so this process will get better. For the moment, I took a lot of inspiration from Fedora as I like...

AltArch のソースコードを参考にしててもプロジェクトを引き継ぐわけではない以上「raspberrypi2-kernel4」という名称もどうかと思うので、元の「raspberrypi-kernel」に戻しても良いかなと思いつつ、面倒なので何もせずに終わりそう。

The Rocky Linux project has announced an expansion of its hardware support in the upcoming Rocky Linux 10, confirming official support for the emerging RISC-V open-source architecture. This move is due to the dedicated collaboration between the Fedora RISC-V community and Rocky Linux’s Alternative Architectures Special Interest Group (AltArch SIG). Expected to roll out soon (RHEL 10 is already available), Rocky 10 will include riscv64gc builds, aligning closely with Fedora’s supported platforms. Notably, thanks to the standard Enterprise Linux 10 kernel, users can expect immediate compatibility out-of-the-box with popular RISC-V hardware, such as the StarFive VisionFive 2 (quad-core RISC-V single board computer) and QEMU virtual machines. The initiative will also provide limited support for platforms like the SiFive HiFive Premier P550 through vendor-supplied kernels, although some functionality might initially be restricted. Other promising boards, including Milk-V and Banana Pi, remain under consideration as mainline kernel support matures. Lastly, it’s important to highlight that the RISC-V build for Rocky Linux 10 will be treated as an alternative architecture. Unlike primary architectures, build issues specific to RISC-V won’t block the release or updates for other architectures, ensuring timely software releases across the board. For more information, see the announcement.

あーそうか。
rhel10 が x86_64_v3 を基本とする以上、 EPEL もそっちでビルドされてるから、x86_64_v2 な al10 へな「混ぜるな危険」なのか…
だから EPEL AltArch なのね
