Plans on CentOS8 for UMD
- CentOS8 released in Semptember 2019 https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2019-September/023449.html
- same life cycle as RHEL https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata#Life_Cycle_Dates
- CentOS8 will be maintained until May 2029
- CentOS7 will be maintained until June 2024
- SL6 will be maintained until November 2020
- same life cycle as RHEL https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata#Life_Cycle_Dates
- Should CentOS8 be added to UMD4 or created within a new major UMD5 (with CentOS8 only)?
- Or (imitating previous UMD versions): UMD5 with CentOS 7 and 8?
- Pros
- remove unsupported software in UMD-4 which makes keeping the repository consistent hard to the UMD team
- Cons
- Have to maintain 2 versions for a given period
- Pros
- Tentative draft plan:
- create UMD5/C7 with all products that offer support all over the next years (ideally until 2024)
- once it's ready, ask sites to switch: UMD4/C7 -> UMD5/C7; this will provide sites with a supported OS including officially supported products at least until 2024, and could allow starting the slow retirement of UMD4 (SL6 retirement starting at end of 2020, C7 to be eventually used only for products phasing out and doomed to dismission).
- UMD4/C8 gets filled meanwhile in parallel; you know, this relies very much on the product teams
- Or (imitating previous UMD versions): UMD5 with CentOS 7 and 8?
