[CentOS] Centos versions in the future?
Will there be newer versions of Centos? We have heard rumors that version 8 will be the last one. We are concerned with using an OS that will loose support in the future. Thank you. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Thank you for your response Rich. I have heard that Stream is beta releases of RH -- rather distressing. Is this a proper characterization?

Thank you for your response Martin. We should probably consider moving to the alternatives that you mentioned or Ubuntu. Centos was no longer a Community effort after RH was bought by a propriatory company. On 4/27/2021 9:05 AM, J Martin Rushton via CentOS wrote: Not just rumours. CentOS 8 dies at the end of this year. CentOS 7 has until the end of 2024. RH are introducing "CentOS Stream" which is what will be in RHEL in the next release. It has been unkindly referred to as beta software. The traditional rebuild of RHEL will continue under other guises. There has been a long standing release at Springdale. Since RH's announcement Cloud have produced the Alma release. There is also a new project called Rocky that hasn't yet released a full version but is working on it. On 27/04/2021 13:46, Carlos Oliva wrote: Will there be newer versions of Centos?

Thank you for your response Pete. I prefer to avoid working under the unbrela of propriatory companies.

Is this a proper characterization? You heard wrong. Stream is effectively a rolling early release of the next point release of RHEL. The packages in stream are fully tested and have gone through QA. They are not beta releases. The disadvantage of Stream is that it doesn't have the full 10 year support of RHEL and doesn't have the full binary compatibility to RHEL.
