Packaging and distributing ========================== Gramine project aims to support two most recent releases of the long-lived distributions (e.g. Debian, Ubuntu LTS, AlmaLinux and other CentOS replacements, ...). Currently officially supported distributions: - Ubuntu (24.04 LTS, 22.04 LTS); - RHEL-8-like distributions (like AlmaLinux 8, Rocky Linux 8, ...); - experimentally, RHEL-9-like distros (packages are not fully validated). Exceptions ---------- .. _glibc: glibc ^^^^^ Glibc is a special case, because we need to provide the version supported by the distribution **or a later version**, which is inverse from the usual dependency relation that we need to support the version from distro or earlier. Therefore we will provide some reasonably new version under the assumption that older software will be able to run against new glibc version. musl ^^^^ See :ref:`glibc`. Same thing applies to musl. varia ^^^^^ Maintainer tools, examples, etc. need not run on all distros. Packaging guide --------------- TBD Acknowledgements ---------------- Distro support policy was inspired by `Libvirt's policy `__.
