Hi Brian, When I do `dnf install centos-release-stream` and then 'rpm -qa | grep release' I get

centos-release-8.0-0.1905.0.9.el8.x86_64 centos-release-stream-8.0-0.1905.0.9.el8.x86_64

Am I supposed to have both of those? I don't want to do an update if I'm pulling in both repo's and things get confused. I could have sworn that I installed with the stream image. Is there an easy way to tell? kernel version perhaps?

Thanks Troy Dawson

Hi Folks,

First a bit of administrivia: If you have installed CentOS Stream from the initial spin, please be sure that you have centos-release-stream installed on your system. We had a bug in that compose that caused centos-release-stream to not get laid out on-disk at install time.

Please run: `dnf install centos-release-stream` followed by `dnf update`

For this respin of CentOS Stream we want to highlight new work in the kernel that enables Pressure Stall Information accounting: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/accounting/psi.html Give this a test! If there are comments related to this feature, feel free to start a discussion here on centos-devel.

The latest CentOS Stream content is still seeding to the mirror network, but we expect it to coalesce over the next days. You can download install DVDs from the download page: https://www.centos.org/download/

A final note about CentOS Linux 8.1.1911: we are working diligently to get this ready for release. Stay tuned here for more information. We've included much of the same content as 8.1.1911 in this CentOS Stream respin both for your comments, and to help us promote CentOS Stream as a continuous feed of new features.

Cheers!

Having both centos-release and centos-release-stream is the correct behavior for now. Two sets of repo files are also expected, but you can disable the non-Stream repositories if you wish.

Any thoughts to not having a centos-release-stream package and just making it so we could just do "dnf install centos-repos-stream" for this? That way things "stack" and people will freely upgrade to new stuff via "dnf distro-sync"...

It makes sense to me as-is, since all SIG content is available via a centos-release-<sig/content> package.
