Description
There has been an internal and external interest for bringing Terra to other platforms such as OpenSUSE and EL.
Items for consideration:
- How would sources be versioned for other distros? Would we have an EL9 branch, like how we currently have a f38 branch?
- Should sources be separate in the first place? It's possible to have a spec file that builds for multiple platforms, see this [prismlauncher spec commit](https://github.com/terrapkg/packages/blob/e8ec7f262062b12cf0826ffd8d08dc2546b737a8/anda/games/prismlauncher/prismlauncher.spec
).
- Branding for these new repos? Policy updates?

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by comparing the current f38 branch with the referenced anda/games/prismlauncher/prismlauncher.spec commit. Use that comparison to decide how sources should be versioned or shared for OpenSUSE and EL, and identify the branding and policy updates that define completion.
