Okay, now that the release is out, and everything is announced properly. I'm happy to answer questions about Stream.
Still about libosinfo, but from a different perspective ...
Of course we want to have CentOS 8 and CentOS Stream added to libosinfo (with unattended installations support). However, we have messed up in the past when adding CentOS 7 as we conuted that CentOS 7 would follow exactly the same numbering as RHEL 7. After some time, turned out that we (libosinfo) should have added CentOS 7 as "centos7" and not as "centos7.0".
In order to avoid the same mistake:
- Shall we go for CentOS 8 as a "rolling 8", meaning, no 8.1, 8.2 ... just 8?
What are the tradeoffs here? I'd lean toward calling it a "rolling 8" for CentOS Linux.
If it helps we're going with this CPE string for all CentOS Linux 8 composes: cpe:/o:centos:centos:8,CentOS 8
I believe CentOS 8 should be a rolling 8, the same as 7, but I'll defer to smarter people like Brian or Fabian to tell me if I'm wrong.
- Shall we go for CentOS Stream or shall we target the Stream as *8*
Stream (and here implying that we'll always see a major stream release)?
This one is slightly tricky. There is only "CentOS Stream" for now, but for technical reasons we've tagged it in yum/dnf as '8-stream' via the stream variable. This may take some discussion before I can give you an official answer.
