Amazon Linux 2023 Installation Problem

[flightlesstux]

Hi,

I'm trying to install php8.1 from the remi repository on Amazon Linux 2023, and I'm getting an error during the rpm installation. Amazon Linux 2023 base from Fedora 34, Fedora 35, and Fedora 36. Is it possible to make another rpm package for Amazon Linux 2023? You can see below what I tried.

What we can do?

Could you check, please? @remicollet

Sorry, but Amazon Linux is only a Frankenstein thing, to much change from Fedora.

Not supported for now.

Use real Fedora or CentOS, RHEL, Alma, Rocky images instead.
