Pulling in all potential security patches for all software would be too much, but we’re happy to consider patches that impact our community. We pull in patches, and then re-sync to RHEL when they release a patch. Here’s a good example: almalinux.org/blog/2025-06...
Call for testing - VMWare open-vm-tools CVE-2025-22247
Update June 18 2025 20:00 UTC: The patches for all verisons have been published into stable repositories. A normal dnf upgrade or dnf upgrade open-vm-tools will pull in the updates.

“As close to the source as possible…” if we’re pulling from the source, how is that different from Red Hat pulling it in? I realize it would be ideal for it to be patched for the entire RHEL ecosystem, but since that hasn’t happened don’t you want to at least help protect whoever you can?

It’s very unlikely that we ever would, but even if we were to consider it ALESCo would have to approve it. Follow along with those discussions in our chat, or on GitHub: almalinux.org/alesco/

EXT4 is still valuable for a lot of folks, but all the work that’s done for AlmaLinux is done for our community. Happy that you’re excited to see BTRFS!

Hi there! While we don’t often patch things outside of RHEL’s releases, we do have the freedom and process to manage this with relative ease. The best place to ask about this is in our chat: chat.almalinux.org

Nope, that’s not in the plans! Just adding support that the AlmaLinux user community needs.
