Hello everyone,

We are pleased to announce that Rocky Linux 9.3 assets are available to sync. We began allowing all mirrors to begin syncing within the last 48 hours from our rsync endpoints in both the US and Germany, to streamline future updates that will arrive alongside the upcoming release.

US: msync.rockylinux.org EU: fra.msync.rockylinux.org

For those who wish to use the FRA endpoint, the rsync modules may be different from our primary US endpoint. For those who are already using it, there is nothing you will need to change at this time.

The artifacts available to all mirrors are to be kept from the public in accordance with our bitflip procedure until the release has been thoroughly tested. We have some artifacts (such as live images, containers and cloud images for ppc/s390x) that are still in the works and they will be passed out in the coming hours. If you have done the initial sync, then the follow up syncs should be very quick.

If all goes well with our tests, we intend to perform the bitflip (and release Rocky Linux 9.3) on Monday during US business hours (EST, UTC-5). If anything changes, we will send a follow up email.

Thank you for your continued support of Rocky Linux. If there is anything you need, please do not hesitate to reach out directly, via the mirror list, or our mattermost at https://chat.rockylinux.org/rocky-linux/channels/infrastructure.
