Hi, I mentioned at the community meeting that Netgate currently builds & distributes VPP RPMs for CentOS 8 and I would need to confirm internally whether disabling those jobs would cause any problems for us.
I confirmed that we do not have any issue with removing those CI jobs. We generate our own RPMs and do not distribute the ones that are uploaded to packagecloud. Since the Makefiles & spec files for building RPMs will be left intact and we will still be able to generate RPMs on our own, we have no objection to the CI jobs being disabled.
