SPAL SUPPORT STATEMENT

Supplementary Packages for Amazon Linux 2023 (SPAL) is a dedicated repository
that provides access to thousands of pre-built, EPEL9 derived packages compatible
for AL2023, beyond the existing packages in the core AL2023. With the availability
of SPAL repository, customers can migrate their workloads from Amazon Linux 2 to
Amazon Linux 2023, eliminating the time-consuming process of building packages
from source.

While SPAL packages facilitate easy migration from AL2 to AL2023 and expand their
software, SPAL packages are not supported like core AL2023 packages
(https://docs.aws.amazon.com/linux/al2023/release-notes/all-packages-AL2023.8.html)
that receive support for the entire life of AL2023. SPAL packages are offered
as-is and are not applicable for AWS Enterprise Support. Security Patches and bug
fixes will be provided for SPAL packages if and when available in EPEL9 upstream.

Prior to using SPAL, customers must carefully evaluate these considerations:

1. Packages in SPAL repository are not covered by AWS Enterprise Support

2. Packages in SPAL repository are provided 'as-is' with security patches if and
   only when available from upstream EPEL9

3. Packages in SPAL repository will not receive AWS CVE security tracking

If you encounter an issue with a SPAL package, we recommend first testing whether
the same issue occurs with the corresponding package in the upstream EPEL9
repository. If the issue reproduces in EPEL9, report it via the standard Fedora
EPEL reporting process (https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/epel/epel-faq/), as
this indicates an upstream issue that should be addressed by the EPEL maintainers.
However, if the issue does not reproduce in EPEL9, create an issue in the Amazon
Linux 2023 GitHub repository (https://github.com/amazonlinux/amazon-linux-2023/issues),
as this suggests the problem is specific to the SPAL package build or configuration.
Such issues will be handled on a best-effort basis. This approach helps ensure
issues are addressed by the appropriate maintainers and contributes to the overall
quality of both SPAL and upstream EPEL packages.
