Announcing Rocky Linux 8.6
by Louis Abel 17 May '22

17 May '22

Hello everyone. I am pleased to announce the general availability of Rocky Linux 8.6. This release is for the x86_64 and aarch64 architectures and is derived from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.6. Please read through the release notes at: https://docs.rockylinux.org/release_notes/8_6/ - These notes contain important information about the release, details about some of the content inside the release (such as newer modules or updates throughout the distribution) and highlights. ## General Repository Changes ### openldap-servers While it may not be very well known, we were providing the openldap-servers package as part of our Plus repository alongside thunderbird and open-vm-tools for aarch64. openldap-servers is now part of the PowerTools repository. In the event this changes again, we will of course let you know in our announcements. ### multiple bind versions The standard bind version is the 9.11 series. In 8.6, bind9.16 is now available as a choice for those who want to use a newer bind series. ### perl module streams rebuilt With the exception of the default base perl module (5.26), all other perl module streams have been completely rebuilt. Thanks to our testing team, its members, and others in the community, we were able to identify and stamp out the problematic behavior that has unfortunately existed in our previous releases. ## Known Issues ### dotnet As reported in our 8.5 release, we had to override the builds for the dotnet packages to fake "rhel" as the RID. This is still the case until we are upstreamed. You can help us in this effort in ~Development in our [Mattermost](https://chat.rockylinux.org). ======= Updates ======= Updates released since upstream are posted across our current architectures. We strongly recommend that all users apply *all* updates, including the content released today on your existing Rocky Linux machines. This can be done by running `dnf update`. All Rocky Linux components are built from the sources hosted at git.rockylinux.org. In addition, SRPMs are being published alongside the repositories in a corresponding "source" directory. You can find these on any of our mirrors. These source packages match every binary RPM we release. Note that this release supersedes all previously released content for Rocky Linux 8. You are encouraged to update your system. Older content, such as those obsoleted from the previous release will not be available. While we keep older content around for historical purposes (within our vault), it is recommended that you use the latest updates available to you. **Please allow mirrors to sync the content. While most of our mirrors have synced majority of the content, not all has been synced and you may not get your updates right away.** ======== Download ======== * x86_64 Boot: https://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/8/isos/x86_64/Rocky-8.6-x86_64-boot.iso DVD: https://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/8/isos/x86_64/Rocky-8.6-x86_64-dvd1.iso Minimal: https://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/8/isos/x86_64/Rocky-8.6-x86_64-minimal.… DVD Torrent: https://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/8/isos/x86_64/Rocky-8.6-x86_64-dvd1.iso… Boot Torrent: https://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/8/isos/x86_64/Rocky-8.6-x86_64-boot.iso… Minimal Torrent: https://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/8/isos/x86_64/Rocky-8.6-x86_64-minimal.… Checkcum: https://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/8/isos/x86_64/CHECKSUM Verification: https://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/8/isos/x86_64/CHECKSUM.sig * aarch64 Boot: https://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/8/isos/aarch64/Rocky-8.6-aarch64-boot.i… DVD: https://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/8/isos/aarch64/Rocky-8.6-aarch64-dvd1.i… Minimal: https://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/8/isos/aarch64/Rocky-8.6-aarch64-minima… DVD Torrent: https://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/8/isos/aarch64/Rocky-8.6-aarch64-dvd1.i… Boot Torrent: https://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/8/isos/aarch64/Rocky-8.6-aarch64-boot.i… Minimal Torrent: https://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/8/isos/aarch64/Rocky-8.6-aarch64-minima… Checkcum: https://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/8/isos/aarch64/CHECKSUM Verification: https://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/8/isos/aarch64/CHECKSUM.sig * Live Images GNOME (Workstation): https://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/8/Live/x86_64/Rocky-Workstation-8-x86_6… XFCE: https://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/8/Live/x86_64/Rocky-XFCE-8-x86_64-20220… Checksum: https://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/8/Live/x86_64/CHECKSUM Verification: https://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/8/Live/x86_64/CHECKSUM.sig Note: KDE images are not available.

In addition to the standard image available for 8.4 and 8.5, we are pleased to be able to offer a Minimal image built with only the necessary tools to use a Rocky Linux container and customize to your needs. The containers are about 30MB compressed, and just under 100MB when extracted. In addition, the Minimal image ships microdnf as a drop in replacement for the dnf package manager. Additional images for Vagrant as well as Oracle Cloud and Microsoft Azure will be published in the coming days. ========================================== Getting Help / Engaging with the Community ========================================== The Rocky Linux ecosystem is sustained by community-driven help, guidance, and love of RPM distributions, Enterprise Linux and its ecosystem.

Currently these announcements are manual and there are ongoing plans to make these more automated with less human interaction.

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. The following packages have been updated since March 15, 2022: expat-2.2.5-4.el8_5.3 tzdata-2022a-1.el8 httpd-2.4.37-43.module+el8.5.0+747+83fae388.3 openssl-1.1.1k-6.el8_5 The following modules have been updated: httpd Associated CVE's: CVE-2022-25236 CVE-2022-25235 CVE-2022-25315 CVE-2022-23852 CVE-2021-45960 CVE-2021-46143 CVE-2022-22827 CVE-2022-22826 CVE-2022-22825 CVE-2022-22824 CVE-2022-22823 CVE-2022-22822 CVE-2022-0778 CVE-2022-22720 ======= Updates ======= Updates released since upstream are posted across our current architectures.
