Given that they released 8 more than two months before CentOS, I'm not sure that's correct? Speaking of source RPMs, does anyone know where to find the latest CentOS 8 ones? I thought they're supposed to be available on vault.centos.org, but that seems to be lagging behind. Am I missing something, or will I have to learn how to rebuild them from git.centos.org content? > So why would > Oracle EL be better than CentOS in this case, which would also be an implicit > support of a company not being much open source friendly (just look at what > has happened with java/openjdk, openoffice.org/libreoffice, mysql/mariadb). Nobody loves Oracle, but - while I haven't tried it yet - it looks like their Linux folks are doing a pretty decent job providing an EL clone. -- Stephan
