Excellent news! Lua is a game changer for SilverBullet going forward, and I'm more excited than ever for my favorite notes tool :D

Lua is excellent. Simple language, quick to learn. Great fit for this purpose.

We've been building the RISC-V port from a combination of Fedora and CentOS Stream sources--the same as the core operating system--since early 2024.

A lot of RISC-V support was already in F40 (which EL10 is cut from), so the rest was largely backporting and integrating into RHEL, which again, we've been tracking since CentOS Stream 10 was branched from Fedora last year.

Exactly! The AltArch SIG is exactly where those customization will come from, driven by community support.

Yep, should work fine, just not stepping across the upstream (Fedora) support at the moment.

We've actually been working with Fedora and RH on RISC-V for over a year now :)

Then why does this article give "special thanks" to Fedora, but not Red Hat? Or point out the fact that the vast majority of the Fedora RISC-V porting work is being done by Red Hat employees?

Still, past sins and all that. Not too mention the model and the directions from those at the top.

Great I always applaud contributions and I want to encourage it. But please see the damage done by some quite senior persons on the project and please distance yourselves from them.

I suggest you try and measure yourself using that big stick you're holding up to other people.

As one of the founders of the project, I don't think I'll distance myself from myself.

Well that's certainly _one_ way to tell the story, now isn't it, Jonathan.

You can't ban me here for speaking truth like you can on reddit, can you :)

Edit: also, it's literally the true version of the story. Do your own research. It's all public and logged.

I'm curious -- what issues are your counterparts experiencing?

nosey neighbor problem

We do love collaborating with our upstreams--I myself recruit folks into Fedora and CentOS whenever I can, in addition to Rocky.

It's more than words and sponsorship--I really do mean it when I say I want to empower the Enterprise Linux community, and I'm thrilled that Rocky is at a point where we're able to do so.

CIQ is a sponsor of Rocky (and my employer, to be transparent) - but they do not have a say over what Rocky does.

We (RESF/Rocky) are _not_ CIQ, and do not take direction from CIQ.

End of story.

I knew you'd show up and say this. CIQ's CEO claims to have founded Rocky and is the current president of RESF, is Rocky's most prominent sponsor, and Rocky's recent moves have been in the same direction that CIQ requires in order to survive. Regardless of direct control or not, Rocky's financial incentives align with CIQ's.

As you so point out your bias, it would be really nice if you didn't speak on behalf of your employer and let others make their own conclusions without hearing from those biased.

It'd also be nice if employees of Red Hat wouldn't make personal attacks on folks affiliated with Rocky Linux (and to a greater extent CIQ), justified or not, but I can understand nhanlon's defensiveness, just as I understand the defensiveness from many on Red Hat's payroll surrounding everything the past month+.

Where is the personal attack?

Elsewhere, mostly centered around Twitter, Reddit, and LinkedIn. Thankfully the comms have been more level-headed around these parts.

I can tell you that redhat has conducted a hostile license audit at my corporate data center.

This is one factor in my determination to never allow them into my regional data center. There are several other factors.
