Dear Pascal, It could be a good idea to have CentOS template but replacing Fedora by CentOS for several daily uses in development software is hard. For example, in my case in scientific computing, I encountered a lot of problems due a fast evolution in libraries which forced me in the past to switch to Fedora instead of CentOS on my servers.
Maybe you could try to create a builder for CentOS following the repo of qubes-builder-fedora <https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-builder-fedora> Best Regards, Frédéric Le vendredi 25 août 2017 20:51:02 UTC+2, Pascal Dupuis a écrit : > > > Hello, > > Fedora 24 reached its EOL with Fedora 26 release; meaning F24 will receive > less and less attention (and bug fix).
