Well, the reason Rocky is listed is that it *is* considered supported,
which is because somebody is running a buildfarm animal under that OS:

https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_history.pl?nm=queensnake&br=HEAD

I don't see any animal running Alma, so claiming that it's supported
seems a bit premature.  If you'd like to run such an animal, see
directions here:

https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/register-form.pl

It's not terribly resource-consuming, if you set it up to run once a
day per branch, which is plenty for a platform that ought-to-work.

(There's a separate question of whether Devrim's RPMs will work
out-of-the-box on Alma, or whether it'll need its own build.)
