Hi everyone,

We are syncing the 9.0 GA content to the production mirrors at this time and it should be available to synchronize shortly. There will be a small update for a few packages coming shortly, but we wanted to get the content available immediately.

Looking at logs and metrics from the 8.6 release propagation, our tier 0 mirrors didn't seem to encounter any issues serving content as they did in prior releases, and I did not hear from anyone about synchronization troubles. If you did and/or do have any issues, please reach out.

As a reminder, we have a European mirror located at fra.msync.rockylinux.org and I'll be adding a couple of nodes in other areas shortly after the release of 9.0.

Like prior releases, the 9.0 GA directory will have its permissions set so that mirrors can sync the content, but not expose it to end users over HTTP or Rsync. Please ensure the permissions are set correctly on your content and services so the bitflip can occur as planned. We will release the 9.0 GA content at 14:00 UTC on Wednesday, July 14th 2022.

Thank you very much for your continued support of Rocky Linux. We couldn't do this without your help!

Best, Neil
