Hi there - I'm trying to pre-qualify Amazon Linux 2022 for use in our prod environment. Part of that is getting Salt to work on it.

AWS Linux 2022 will replace AWS Linux 2 over time, so it is not some niche distro.

By the looks of this bootstrap output, its ignoring the python3 parameter, failing to get the content of the repo, and then defaulting to some python 2.7 packages that don't exist - everything in AL2022 is python 3.9 at this date.

I manually installed the python3- version of all those RPMs and only some were found

python3-crypto-2.6.1-34.amzn2022.0.1.x86_64.rpm
python3-jinja2-2.11.3-1.amzn2022.0.1.noarch
python3-pyyaml-5.4.1-2.amzn2022.0.1.x86_64
python3-requests-2.25.1-1.amzn2022.0.1.noarch
though that might also be due to the non-working Repo.

https://aws.amazon.com/linux/amazon-linux-2022/faqs/ says

The first Release Candidate of AL2022 is now available for testing. Now is the ideal time to validate your services and solutions on AL2022. With the Release Candidate, we freeze major changes, except patches and bug fixes, leading up to the AL2022 Generally Available (GA) release later this year. (2022)

How to get some traction on supporting this updated distro ? Given its AWS automation users are likely to be more frequent users.

Further info -the bootstrap script is treating AL2022 like amazon linux 2 and installing python 2.7 stuff, which isn't available.

Even forcing python3 and git as a source still attempts python27 installs.

sh bootstrap-salt.sh -P -y -x python3 git 3004.2
...

I can't go to salt 3005 yet - that would probably work better with the onedir thing.
