Rocky Linux 10+ Knowledge Patch

Claude's baseline knowledge covers Rocky Linux through 9.3. This skill provides changes from 9.5 (2024) onwards.

Quick Reference

Breaking Changes in Rocky Linux 10.0

| What Changed | Old (RL 9.x) | New (RL 10+) | |--------------|---------------|--------------| | Package streams | dnf module enable/install | Direct dnf install pkg-version | | Version discovery | dnf module list <pkg> | dnf repoquery <pkg> | | Redis | dnf install redis | dnf install valkey | | Redis CLI compat | Built-in | dnf install valkey-compat-redis (Plus repo) | | Deprecated kernel features | Enabled by default | Disabled; add rh_waived to re-enable | | RPM version sorting | sort (incorrect) | rpmsort (RPM-aware) |

DNF Modularity Removed

DNF 5 removes modularity entirely. All dnf module commands are gone:

# RL 9.x (no longer works in 10)
dnf module enable nginx:1.14
dnf module install nginx:1.14

# RL 10+ (direct install)
dnf repoquery --available nginx # discover versions
dnf install nginx-1.26.3        # install specific version

See references/package-management.md for full migration table and patterns.

Valkey Replaces Redis

Redis is removed. Valkey 8.0 (API-compatible fork) is the replacement:

dnf install valkey
systemctl enable --now valkey

For redis-cli/redis-server command compatibility:

dnf install valkey-compat-redis # from Plus repo
redis-cli ping                  # works as alias to valkey-cli

See references/service-changes.md for configuration paths and migration details.

rpmsort — RPM Version Sorting

rpm -q kernel | rpmsort # correct: 6.12.0-13 before 6.12.0-130
rpm -q kernel | sort    # wrong: 6.12.0-130 before 6.12.0-13

rh_waived Kernel Argument

Deprecated/insecure kernel features are disabled by default. Re-enable for legacy workloads:

sudo grubby --update-kernel=ALL --args="rh_waived"

See references/service-changes.md for details on when this is needed.
