Use of podman release with AlmaLinux

@srbala since all binaries built from this repository are statically linked you should be able to copy and use them within any other Linux distribution, including AlmaLinux.
The runtime dependencies that need to be installed additionally are listed here.

Thank you @mgoltzsche.

Would be interested accepting a PR for AlmaLinux 'tagged' image variant for your docker releases? It would be a good example and direct use/experiment for el8 users. If yes what would be preferred tag name.

hm, I am not sure what the benefit is. Can you tell me your use case? If you want a RHEL kind of image you could use the official one (quay.io/podman/stable), couldn't you?
For me one of the reasons for maintaining this repository is to ship a small podman image with minimal dependencies as opposed to have 73mb overhead the almalinux container comes with.

One of the thing I like about your releases are size and closely follows the DEV releases. Quay releases seems bit off, might it follows fedora release plans, since it built on top of it. Just one point about AlmaLinux size, micro version is only 13mb compressed and 36mb uncompressed.
