The Rivendell Project will continue to support RHEL/CentOS 7 until it hits End
of Life (currently set for 30 June 2024). In addition to that, we are adding
support for v4.x to two additional distros: UbuntuStudio (LTS releases only)
and RHEL 8.

It’ll take slightly more than just a yum(8) invocation to move from v3.x to
v4.x. At a minimum, you’ll need to change one of software repositories to pull
from a different location. It’s possible that other steps may required as well;
detailed instructions will be available when we get to that point.
