https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/2021-June/077079.htmlHello all,

As I announced back in June[1], the CentOS Hyperscale SIG started producing an experimental Hyperscale Workstation Spin to showcase the technologies we're working on to the broader community.

Today, I'm pleased to announce we've refreshed the images we released at the end of July[2]. Like that release, this one includes both GNOME and KDE Workstation variants.

The spins are available here:

* GNOME ISO: https://d2r1r30d0ahkv5.cloudfront.net/CS8-HS-GNOME-LIVE-20211001.iso * KDE ISO: https://d2r1r30d0ahkv5.cloudfront.net/CS8-HS-KDE-LIVE-20211001.iso * SHA512 checksums: https://d2r1r30d0ahkv5.cloudfront.net/CS8-HS-LIVE-20211001-CHECKSUMS

We also now have the latest version of the spins for download at the Hyperscale SIG website: https://sigs.centos.org/hyperscale/spins/workstation/

Aside from being a general package content refresh, there is a notable fix:

* PackageKit now is able to resolve CentOS repositories. Since CentOS repositories use non-standard DNF vars in the repository paths, PackageKit was not able to resolve them. This bug was reported over a year ago (and fixed in PackageKit upstream!), but despite having a patch to fix it, it has not been fixed, so we now ship a patched PackageKit to resolve the problem. The Red Hat bug describes the issue and has a fix for it included: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1847124

The remaining issues are expected to be the same as the previous release[2].

If you find any other issues, we would definitely love to hear about them! We have a dedicated issue tracker for Hyperscale spins where we would appreciate bugs to be reported: https://pagure.io/centos-sig-hyperscale/spin-bugs

We hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making this!

Thanks and best regards, Neal (on behalf of the CentOS Hyperscale SIG)
