Hi All,
I wonder if someone is in the role/position to shed some more light
on
the topic as announced here https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/furthering-evolution-centos-stream
Any deadlines? Does this target only EL10 or also any current
release?
It is in effect now for RHEL 8 and 9 and will continue for any future RHEL releases. The development and source code for all of these releases will continue to happen through the CentOS Stream project.
RHEL 7 and CentOS Linux 7 are not affected.
Would be great if some discussion/communication could be happen.
Thanks!
If you have more questions, please ask and we can try to address them.
I do indeed have a question. The Kmods SIG currently provides artifacts for both CentOS Stream and RHEL. To achieve that we have established some automation using GitLab CI to avoid human interaction as far as possible. For that to work we do need access to the following sources from RHEL (version numbers are just examples):
kernel-5.14.0-284.18.1.el9_2.src.rpm
or
linux-5.14.0-284.18.1.el9_2.tar.xz (which is included in the src.rpm).
So far we have downloaded the tarball from git.centos.org/sources
However, my understanding is that new versions of these files will not be provided anymore. In fact the example listed here (current RHEL 9 kernel) is already not provided anymore.
Your understanding is correct.
What I don't understand is this: as a Red Hat customer with paid subscription, I'm still able to download kernel-5.14.0-284.18.1.el9_2.src.rpm, right?
If I do so and extract the kernel-5.14.0-284.18.1.el9_2.src.rpm archive, can I put the resulting files on a public server and let others download the files?
