Release for CentOS Linux 7 (1708) on x86_64
by Karanbir Singh 13 Sep '17

13 Sep '17

I am pleased to announce the general availability of CentOS Linux 7 (1708) for 64 bit x86 compatible machines. Effectively immediately, this is the current release for CentOS Linux 7 and is tagged as 1708, derived from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.4 As always, read through the Release Notes at : http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS7 - these notes contain important information about the release and details about some of the content inside the release from the CentOS QA team. These notes are updated constantly to include issues and incorporate feedback from the users. ---------- Updates, Sources, and DebugInfos Updates released since we froze the iso and install media content are posted in the updates repo along with the release. This will include content from late Aug 2017 and Sept 2017, therefore anyone running a new install is highly encouraged to run a 'yum update' operation immediate on install completion. You can apply all updates, including the content released today, on your existing CentOS Linux 7/x86_64 machine by just running 'yum update'. As with all CentOS Linux 7 components, this release was built from sources hosted at git.centos.org. In addition, SRPMs that are a byproduct of the build (and also considered critical in the code and buildsys process) are being published to match every binary RPM we release. Sources will be available from vault.centos.org in their own dedicated directories to match the corresponding binary RPMs. Since there is far less traffic to the CentOS source RPMs compared with the binary RPMs, we are not putting this content on the main mirror network. If users wish to mirror this content they can do so using the reposync command available in the yum-utils package. All CentOS source RPMs are signed with the same key used to sign their binary counterparts. Developers and end users looking at inspecting and contributing patches to the CentOS Linux distro will find the code hosted at git.centos.org far simpler to work against. Details on how to best consume those are documented along with a quick start at : http://wiki.centos.org/Sources Debuginfo packages are also being signed and pushed. Yum configs shipped in the new release file will have all the context required for debuginfo to be available on every CentOS Linux install. This release supersedes all previously released content for CentOS Linux 7, and therefore we highly encourage all users to upgrade their machines. Information on different upgrade strategies and how to handle stale content is included in the Release Notes. Note that older content, obsoleted by newer versions of the same applications are trim'd off from repos like Extras/ and Plus/ However this time we have also extended this to the sIG content hosted at mirror.centos.org, and some older End of Life content has been dropped. Everything we ever release, is always available on the vault service for people still looking for and have a real need for it. ---------- Download In order to conserve donor bandwidth, and to make it possible to get the mirror content sync'd out as soon as possible, we recommend using torrents to get your initial installer images: Details on the images are available on the mirrors at http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/isos/x86_64/0_README.txt - that file clearly highlights the difference in the images, and when one might be more suitable than the others. The sizes, sha256 sums for the ISO files: ec7500d4b006702af6af023b1f8f1b890b6c7ee54400bb98cef968b883cd6546 CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-1708.iso ( 4.2G) 8593f5a1631ebfb7581193a7b4ef96d44f500d3ceb49cc4cfbfd71d5698e4173 CentOS-7-x86_64-Everything-1708.iso ( 8.1G) 9941f5e1257d74e763652ceae5096ed73ddc94a9703ae116931d8713b801fec0 CentOS-7-x86_64-LiveGNOME-1708.iso ( 1.2G) 4ba63634a8430d134d8a9535c62ff1341c33c898fb1c768a0c6e54fbc92a9133 CentOS-7-x86_64-LiveKDE-1708.iso ( 1.7G) bba314624956961a2ea31dd460cd860a77911c1e0a56e4820a12b9c5dad363f5 CentOS-7-x86_64-Minimal-1708.iso ( 792 M) fe3d960cce4d2c1c9f1b66817fe87cc0ee1a1c6c5dd126204cb5c33d51a45620 CentOS-7-x86_64-NetInstall-1708.iso ( 422 M) Information for the torrent files and sums are available at http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/isos/x86_64 -------- Additional Images The container, Vagrant, Cloud and Atomic Host images are being prepared and will be released in the next few days. Look for an announcement posted to the centos-announce list for more information on availability for these in the coming days. ---------- Dojo We try and organise Dojos in various parts of the world as a one day event, to bring together people who use CentOS and others who are keen to learn about CentOS. The day's focus is on sharing technical knowledge and success stories. It's also a great place to meet and talk about upcoming technologies and learn how others are using them on CentOS Linux. The next Dojo coming up is on the 20th Oct hosted by CERN, in Switzerland. Details for this are available on https://indico.cern.ch/event/649159/ ( please note that you must register ahead of time to attend ) ---------- Getting Help The CentOS ecosystem is sustained by community driven help and guidance. The best place to start for new users is at http://wiki.centos.org/GettingHelp We are also on social media, you can find the project: on Twitter at : http://twitter.com/CentOSProject on Facebook at : https://www.facebook.com/groups/centosproject/ on LinkedIn at : https://www.linkedin.com/groups/22405 And you will find the core team and a majority of the contributors on irc, on freenode.net in #centos ; talking about the finer points of distribution engineering and platform enablement. ---------- Contributors This release was made possible due to the hard work of many people, foremost on that list are the Red Hat Engineers for producing a great distribution and the CentOS QA team, without them CentOS Linux would look very different. Many of the team went further and beyond expectations to bring this release to you, and I would like to thank everyone for their help. We are also looking for people to get involved with the QA process in CentOS, if you would like to join this please introduce yourself on the centos-devel list (http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-devel ). As some people would have noticed there is no i686 build for 1708 as yet - we have run into a couple of build and dependency issues that could use help. So if you are keen to get involved this is a great opportunity. Finally, please join me in thanking the donors who all make this possible for us. Enjoy the fresh new release! -- Karanbir Singh, Project Lead, The CentOS Project +44-207-0999389 | http://www.centos.org/ | twitter.com/CentOS GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc
