For Bluefin LTS we're in control of all the 3rd party repositories we use. We depend on EPEL but so does everybody else. I am unaware of any kernel patches that we are shipping since we ship the default CentOS Stream kernel and the optional hwe kernel ships CentOSs' kmod kernel.

Really? Do you control the negativo17.org repo (just one example from akmods)?

How about jreilly1821? Looks like nothing's really preventing them from sneaking in a malicious version of glib2..

I would be in trouble if I didn't trust jreilly1821 since he's one of the Bluefin maintainers. And the nvidia binaries come from an nvidia employee.

Hi I'm jreilly1821, I made those COPRs for Bluefin LTS. I guess I could put something malicious but you can see that they are all just packages from Fedora DistGit. I'm not sure what your preference would be? I think distros have mystique given to them that is misappropriated. At the end of the day they are mostly middlemen packaging someone else's code.

Bootc is and will change things, images will be tested as an integrated experience and we'll continue to strive to pull from as far upstream as we can.

Negativo17 is Simone, an NVIDIA employee who has been instrumental in packaging nvidia drivers for linux for years. I don't know for certain, but I wouldn't be suprised if they are also doing the official packaging for nvidia drivers as well. Needless to say they are very trusted and a known entity in the Linux community
