Issue ID: 127513
Issue Type: DEFECT
Summary: Increase Linux baseline to CentOS 6
Product: Build Tools
Version: 4.2.0-dev
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: CONFIRMED
Severity: Normal
Priority: P5 (lowest)
Component: code
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
(This issue is a proposal; discussion on the dev list will be started at due
time, when we take decisions about 4.2.0)
We currently use CentOS 5 as a Linux baseline. Building on CentOS 5 guarantees,
in some way, that OpenOffice will run on all newer Linux versions. This
especially holds for the glibc requirement, at 2.5 in CentOS 5.
CentOS 5 is already unsupported, as of 31 March 2017:
https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2017-April/022350.html
So we should switch to a newer baseline that is still "old enough" to cover
virtually all desktop systems in use today. CentOS 6, released in July 2011 and
scheduled to receive updates until November 2020
https://wiki.centos.org/About/Product seems a good candidate. CentOS 6 comes
with glibc 2.12.
