Oh, sorry. I created a duplicated issue...
Let's close this.
> Should we open a different issue to drop support for AlmaLinux 8 too?
Ah, yes. Let's discuss this in the different issue.
In my opinion, we can keep AlmaLinux 8 support until it reaches end of
security support. But if we find a problem caused by old packages (e.g. C++20
support/C++23 support may cause a problem), we'll drop support for AlmaLinux 8
before end of security support.
> I am trying to drop support for Python 3.9 and I see that AlmaLinux
packages are 3.9, otherwise I'll have to install Python manually and was
wondering if we should just remove support.
We're using Python only for Meson and gi-docgen for Apache Arrow C GLib.
AlmaLinux 8 also provides Python 3.11 and Python 3.12. So we can switch to
newer Python when it's needed:
