Re: [CentOS] Announcing Open-sourced & Community-Driven RHEL Fork by CloudLinux
Considering that it is being spearheaded by the originator of CentOS, with the original goals of CentOS (before being swallowed by RH then IBM) as a stable, enterprise OS, I'm putting my support behind Rocky rockylinux.org and would urge others to do the same. I've been around the Linux world for many years and looked at and tried many distributions. Most of them are either unstable or bloated, or both. The only thing I'd trust Oracle to do is screw the computing community any way possible.

Look at Rocky Linux rockylinux.org It is set to become what CentOS was before it was sucked in by RH and sold to IBM, a Community Enterprise OS.

"If you want to keep using RHEL for free, you will have to put up with making sure that our paying customers get better quality releases" Meanwhile, we understand many of you are deeply invested in CentOS Linux 7, and we’ll continue to produce that version through the remainder of the RHEL 7 life cycle. https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata/#Life_Cycle_Dates "If you really want to have a stable release for free, stick to 7" CentOS Stream will also be the centerpiece of a major shift in collaboration among the CentOS Special Interest Groups (SIGs). This ensures SIGs are developing and testing against what becomes the next version of RHEL. This also provides SIGs a clear single goal, rather than having to build and test for two releases. It gives the CentOS contributor community a great deal of influence in the future of RHEL. "CentOS will become the developer playground" And it removes confusion around what “CentOS” means in the Linux distribution ecosystem. Was there any confusion? If there is, then it's caused by the introduction of things like "CentOS Stream". There was never any confusion when it was a straight rebuild. When CentOS Linux 8 (the rebuild of RHEL8) ends, your best option will be to migrate to CentOS Stream 8, which is a small delta from CentOS Linux 8, and has regular updates like traditional CentOS Linux releases. If you are using CentOS Linux 8 in a production environment, and are concerned that CentOS Stream will not meet your needs, we encourage you to contact Red Hat about options. "If you want a production environment, pay for it" We have an FAQ - https://centos.org/distro-faq/ - to help with your information and planning needs, as you figure out how this shift of project focus might affect you. The FAQ generally says "if you want a RHEL environment, then pay for it" [See also: Red Hat's perspective on this. https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/centos-stream-building-innovative-future-enterprise-linux] Red Hat's perspective is "CentOS is ours now; IBM have told us to make sure it's pulling its weight or we aren't allowed to put any resources into it" So as far as I can see all the RHEL rebuilds are dead now - WhiteBox, Scientific Linux, now CentOS.

[CentOS] Centos 7 and php 5.5
I am hoping that the wisdom of the group here can at least point me in the right direction. I have a Centos7 server that I need to upgrade php from 5.4 to 5.5.

This often means that the root cause is something else and multilib version checking is just pointing out that there is a problem. Eg.: 1. You have an upgrade for php-common which is missing some dependency that another package requires. Yum is trying to solve this by installing an older version of php-common of the different architecture. If you exclude the bad architecture yum will tell you what the root cause is (which package requires what). You can try redoing the upgrade with --exclude php-common.otherarch ... this should give you an error message showing the root cause of the problem. 2. You have multiple architectures of php-common installed, but yum can only see an upgrade for one of those architectures. If you don't want/need both architectures anymore then you can remove the one with the missing update and everything will work. 3. You have duplicate versions of php-common installed already. You can use "yum check" to get yum show these errors. ...you can also use --setopt=protected_multilib=false to remove this checking, however this i
