Here's what I get... rpm -qa | grep shim shim-x64-15-7.el7_9.x86_64 yum update Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks, priorities Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: mirror.fileplanet.com * epel: mirror.prgmr.com * extras: mirror.shastacoe.net * remi-php73: mirror.sjc02.svwh.net * remi-safe: mirror.sjc02.svwh.net * updates: centos-distro.1gservers.com 373 packages excluded due to repository priority protections No packages marked for update Should I just wait for 15-8 to appear?
