Chapter 1. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 content

Traditional content is released as RPMs and is, unless specified otherwise, supported for the life of the release in accordance with the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Life Cycle.

Certain user space components distributed in the AppStream repository are Application Streams. Application Streams are delivered on a cadence that is suitable for each package, which makes the distribution diversified. Application Streams offer multiple versions of a single package for installation within RHEL 9, which is an improvement over previous methods of making multiple versions of packages available. RHEL 10 also consolidates previous distribution channels to a single place.

Depending on the needs of the individual Application Stream, packaging for these components is implemented in a number of forms:

For detailed information on the length of Application Streams support, see the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Application Streams Life Cycle. For information about the other components or packages in the AppStream repository, see the Scope of Coverage Details document.
