Introduction to Rocky Linux and Peridot

Neil Hanlon presents at CentOS Connect at FOSDEM 2023

Learn about Peridot, a new open source build system created and used by Rocky Linux to simplify the process of maintaining a downstream fork of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Discover how Peridot can be used to patch and rebuild RPMs, modify upstream RPMs, or package your own software, and how Rocky Linux uses it to manage the rebuilding of all packages in Enterprise Linux and help drive upstream contributions while enabling Rocky's unique special interests. This presentation is ideal for users of RHEL-like operating systems who want to improve their Linux deployment and management processes. Join us to learn about the benefits of Peridot and Rocky Linux and how you can use them to optimize your Linux system and streamline your development workflow.
