hi guys
I wonder if any Centosian here have done something different than only contemplated using Fedora Server, actually worked on it in test/production envs.
If here are some folks who have done it I want to ask if you deem it to be a viable option to put it on at least portion of servers stack.
Anybody?
Many thanks, L.
I run CentOS 7 but with an updated server stack, including rebuilds (sonetimes with tweaks) of Fedora packages.
Gives me a stable base with modern server software. Does take some work to get some stuff built.
This is what I end up doing on occasions as well, though I try to restrict it to isolated forward-compatible shared libraries rather than a full stack.
Unfortunately, the Fedora folks seem hell-bent on discouraging [1] cross-distro compatibility in the name of Progress, so I don't expect direct SRPM rebuilds to halt their increasing annoyance and difficulty as time goes on.
