We would like to apologize for the lack of announcements in the past two
weeks. Currently these announcements are manual and there are ongoing plans
to make these more automated with less human interaction.
With the release of the RHEL 8.6 beta, we will be looking into what is
changing and what and how we will need to do our builds for the next few
weeks before its potential GA in late April or May. During this, we have
also been working on bootstrapping the RHEL 9 beta packages to eventually
be imported, rebuilt, and tested in our new build system.
