My test with Oracle Linux 9.5 building yocto 5.0 the core-image-minimal core

Hello everyone, is it possible, in the future, to certify the use of Oracle Linux 9.* for the use of Yocto version 5.0? Have you already tested this distribution, which is a derified RHEL, like Rocky Linux and AlmaLinux and have you noticed any problems in certifying it?
Thank you very much and good work!

This bugzilla category is for Yocto Project Compatible Layer registration (https://www.yoctoproject.org/compatible-registration/), not general requests.

We only add supported distros when we can know that they're tested, and this means adding nodes to the autobuilder cluster to exercise it.  As you say, Oracle Linux is a RHEL derivative and we already support Rocky so you _shouldn't_ have any problems with Oracle Linux.  If you're using it in production then you're absolutely recommended to just change SANITY_TESTED_DISTROS in your distro to list the host distros that _you_ support.
