Hello All,
Last year it was announced that ScientificLinux would be discontinued
because of CERN switching to CentOS and that they would contribute to
the CentOS project instead
of continuing with ScientificLinux. Yesterday it was announced that
CentOS8 will be supported until the end of 2021 and that there won't be
a CentOS9 meaning CentOS will
become a rolling release a beta for RHEL and won't be binary compatible
anymore. My question what is CERN going to do now that CentOS is not a
realistic option anymore because of this? Is there any chance that the
discontinued status of ScientificLinux will be reverted and that
ScientificLinux will be an option as binary compatible clone of RHEL
since CentOS Stream is out of the question since it won't be binary
compatible anymore with RHEL.
