If you all are willing to volunteer, and/or help find other volunteers, I will try to find folks to mentor you to get you started to keep the RPMs going. Unfortunately, I have already spoken to folks in both Alma and Rocky, a year ago and again this weekend at a conference, to see if they could assist and they do not have the resources.There was previously a small team of 2-3 engineers working on RDO but as mentioned in the release announcement email they moved on to other positions.Amy_______________________________________________On Mon, Mar 9, 2026 at 2:42 PM Francesco Di Nucci <francesco.dinucci@na.infn.it> wrote:Thank you,
is it possible to try again to search for volunteers before abandoning definitively the RPM packages? Less diversity is a loss for everyone, and maybe people did not fully realize the situation (me including, didn't read the announcement email as I'm still running Caracal 😅). Cross-posting with other mailing lists/IRC/ops meetings could be useful, and if the alternative is RPM discontinuation, more people might be interested.
If I can ask, how many people would (ideally) be necessary/how many RPMs are around?

Francesco, Massimo, Jose,
We would love help from the other communities to continue creating the RPMS. We put a call out for volunteers over a year ago[0]. and while folks replied that they wanted to help or attended a meeting no one actually started helping. As a result, we added an important note to the bottom of the Epoxy release announcement[1] explaining that internal developers had moved on and we again said we needed help and to reach out if interested.

I'll also send this to the OpenStack list but respecting Jeremy's decoupling of lists.

Hi all,
given that RDO will soon stop releasing RPMs of OpenStack, it has been
suggested on IRC etc that AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux communities might be
interested in building the RPMs instead, is there already a discussion
about it?
Best regards
