CentOS 8.x AlmaLinux AlmaLinux 8.x Linux Development Discussion Thread

Technically yes but it's privately tested by me right now. Not ready for other users to test yet while I'm am still testing and figuring things out and if they work or not. It's just not ready for public testing as yet.

 

Centmin Mod EL8 branch needs a separate installer to fully support it right now. You wouldn't be able to use the 123.09beta01's installers or even installers in the EL8 branch right now. Separate installer is private for now

 

So Alma Linux 9 beta is out too https://twitter.com/AlmaLinux/status/1516513721434185733

 

EL9 not there yet 3rd party repos are no where near ready for testing. MariaDB official repo hasn't even got a EL9 build yet i.e. https://mariadb.org/download/?t=repo-config. For Centmin Mod and EL9 probably will opt to default to MariaDB 10.6 which is a LTS release, hopefully by then MariaDB sorted out their optimizer issues in MariaDB 10.4+ too. FYI, EL9+ defaults to MariaDB 10.5.x for native OS versions. But Centmin Mod uses official MariaDB YUM repos.

But I am already laying some of the El9 ground work with EL8 development to make it easier. Support means adding compatibility but also doing testing. The latter part is more time consuming.

 

Yeah as always though it's a waiting game still.

End of the day though, I created Centmin Mod for my own usage and I intend to use EL8 sooner than EL9, so EL8 support and testing is a must anyway
