We’e in the same situation. I’d actually be willing to pay for Redhat, but not with the requirement to do a reinstall. So until RHEL 9 I need an alternative. While I have lots of reasons to dislike it, I’m currently thinking of Oracle Linux for our remaining time on 8. I’ve found delays in Centos 8 a concern already, so I’m not inclined to wait.
If the IPA developers can assure us that the version in Centos 8 Stream is well tested, I’d use that instead. Historically IPA administrative tools have been brittle. Any slight difference from the environment they expect and there’s a failure, requiring days of reverse engineering an understanding of complex Python code. So I’m not inclined to gamble on a release with less testing than usual. > On Dec 9, 2020, at 7:45 AM, Alexander Bokovoy via FreeIPA-users > <freeipa-users@lists.fedorahosted.org> wrote: > > On ke, 09 joulu 2020, Nico Maas via FreeIPA-users wrote: >> Yes, however, rolling-release is not for everyone and every usecase, >> hence I am asking of the status of the Debian and Ubuntu >> implementations :). > > It is the same as in past: FreeIPA upstream development team has no > influence or control over Debian or Ubuntu packages.
