Linux distributions as an ultimate challenge of continuous integration and how we solve it.
summary
Fedora ELN creates a continuously rebuilt Fedora Rohhide subset using RHEL-like build flags so enterprise compatibility is tested early, and CentOS Stream becomes the live development branch that stays ABI-compatible with RHEL while receiving atomic package updates. The pipeline uses GitLab merge requests, ZuulCI gating, a CentOS Stream build system and synchronized package promotion so CentOS artifacts follow RHEL gating. RHEL ships about 2,000 packages versus Fedora 20,000 and the EEL repo opened on day one of RHEL 9. Fedora ELN CentOS Stream EEL repo
