I build packages on RHEL 8 and then test on Rocky 8, like I used to
test on CentOS 8 in the past. I know that many people want to see Alma
Linux as a supported distro, but at some point I had to make a decision
which clone should be the "main" supported one -- and that's Rocky
Linux.

(I'm not going to start a discussion about who are behind two distros,
as this won't be a technical one, and also not related to this list).

I'm quite sure that packages will work on Alma Linux, but no intention
to test the packages on yet-another-clone.

-HTH
