The buildroots get deleted I know, e.g. on Fedora. I tried to do a scratch build of gluster 7.8 on C6 and the task is stuck in 'waitrepo', so it looks like CBS has deleted its obsolete buildroots too. > > RHEL8 and CentOS Stream 8 probably still have around five more years before they approach EOL. Who can say if the people who are building packages now will even still be around in five years. People change jobs, retire, etc. The CentOS Stream 8 EOL timeframe is the end of the full-support phase of RHEL 8. That is roughly 5 years from 8.0 GA, so approximately 2 years from now. This is documented on the project pages. RHEL 8 has a maintenance phase that extends beyond that and will not be retired for quite some time. > The volunteers who do the builds don't have infinite resources (e.g. time).

By the time CS8 reaches EOL how many people, realistically, will still be using it? And want new builds of glusterfs five years from now. A significant portion of our user base is still on RHEL 7. The Enterprise industry does not migrate rapidly. josh > On Wed, Jul 20, 2022 at 2:56 AM Strahil Nikolov via CentOS-devel <centos-devel at centos.org> wrote: >> >> Hi All, >> >> Does anyone know what will happen with the GlusterFS packages after Stream 8 EOL ? >> I'm wondering if the build system will keep building them for RHEL 8 or they won't be built anymore ? >> >> Best Regards, >> Strahil Nikolov >> _______________________________________________ >> CentOS-devel mailing list >> CentOS-devel at centos.org >> https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-devel > > > > -- > > Kaleb > _______________________________________________ > CentOS-devel mailing list > CentOS-devel at centos.org > https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-devel
