And so it begins. If past releases are anything to go by, I would expect it will take a few months. Figuring out how to rebuild all the RPMs to get binary compatibility is a slow process.

Because my first thought was something more in the line of: "Why the rush? CentOS 7.6 has just been released.

You can experience RHEL8 via the developer version allowing you to work out how your configurations and management will have to change, which may coincide with CentOS arriving by the time you finish. /mark

We will also have an armhfp arch .. but there is no RHEL 8 Beta for that arch and that initial bootstrap process will be much different than the other RHEL supported arches. As such, it will be done completely differently on a separate build system. And that process will likely include a couple more of the iteration loops and have more bootstrap processes, etc. We obviously can not yet make an educated guess on WHEN this process might or might not be completed .. or WHEN the new version will be available. We are shifting to a new koji build setup for the CentOS Linux 8 process. We are also shifting to a new pungi process for creating images, install media, etc. All of this is new to the project for building distros and it is a learning process for us as well. As an initial goal, we would love to have a release in a month .. but of course, we really do not have ample information at this time to make a real estimate of time required or obstacles we may encounter .. This is very much an iterative process with each step depending on the step before .. and each step may need to be repeated several time before we can move on. As we continue on with the process, we will update the above link, and as we get closer we will provide a better estimate. Rest assured that we are working on this and other than security updates for CentOS Linux 6 and 7 (which will take priority when they happen) .. this is our top priority. And as usual, our volunteer QA team will be helping us tremendously in completing this process. Thanks, Johnny Hughes -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Is this goal realistic? I?d consider any ship date before about September to be ?success.?
