Hi: RHEL 8.3 doesn't offer extended update support, so it seems be EOL this month. but centos8 will be supported until December. so will there be centos 8.4, or centos 8.3 will do the extend update support itself?
I will be working on CentOS 8.4 updates once the source code is released.
thanks for confirmation. so at least will have the last CentOS version. then we can decide where to go.
depending on the release date of RHEL 8.5 .. I 'MIGHT' be able to finish that one and get it into vault.centos.org as well. I will try to do that if possible.
Talking about that : what's the official position on how CentOS 8 will go EOL ? I'd be myself in favor of transparently redirecting CentOS 8 linux yum/dnf mirrorlists to 8-stream end of the year, so that people would still get automatically updates and would be able to "dnf install <bla>"
I'd prefer that over a "mirrorlist.centos.org answering <invalid arch / release combination>" and so breaking existing installs.
