[CentOS-announce] Release for CentOS Linux 7 (1804) on armhfp
I am pleased to announce the general availability of CentOS Linux 7 (1804) for armhfp compatible machines. This is the current release for CentOS Linux 7 and is tagged as 1804, derived from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.5 == Download You can download new images for armhfp boards on http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/isos/armhfp/ Images and sha256sums : CentOS-Userland-7-armv7hl-generic-GNOME-1804-sda.raw.xz 16ff588e04fae393671da6cc1336088201f5c633d66e519345eaf4b60e2818c3 CentOS-Userland-7-armv7hl-generic-KDE-1804-sda.raw.xz 950340fd8aec24651788897382f76d360c19a7f83c08dc9390637880413690f7 CentOS-Userland-7-armv7hl-generic-Minimal-1804-sda.raw.xz 1a9823b3148285a8aa8f07f49c23b4e6299aaa1f225d15334501687fb9c44398 CentOS-Userland-7-armv7hl-RaspberryPI-GNOME-1804-sda.raw.xz 23c3ec15d72e7b1934fa63ae1a7c8f4071f952c2d2c07da39c625e2559b86ccf CentOS-Userland-7-armv7hl-RaspberryPI-KDE-1804-sda.raw.xz f9ed70539ad4579a7ae7bbad777e4a2614ad9df13bfb577ac2de0c72dee9e7c1 CentOS-Userland-7-armv7hl-RaspberryPI-Minimal-1804-sda.raw.x 962264b4387a10cfd058b12b7ed1490fd3f65c9276c10a37c6746ffaabcc83f2 == What's new (specific to armhfp) As before, CentOS 7 userland for armhfp is still built from the CentOS 7 distribution, with some modified, added (or removed) packages. Here are some highlights for the 7.5.1804 release : - Kernel (for both rpi2/3 and generic boards) was bumped to 4.14.x (LTS version) to also follow the i386 AltArch kernel. - uboot images were updated to version 2018.03 to support more boards - we have now variants other than "minimal" (so GNOME and KDE) - selinux is working in enforcing mode and not in permissive mode by default so there is no need anymore to relabel filesystem and reboot) We have also changed the way we built the armhfp images, so please consider reading the dedicated wiki page to understand which steps are now mandatory to ensure that your armhfp will boot correctly (basically setting up uboot) More informations/details on the dedicated wiki page : https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/AltArch/armhfp == Getting help If you are searching for help, or would like to help the CentOS altarch/armhfp ecosystem, feel free to subscribe to the CentOS arm-dev list (https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/arm-dev) or chat with us in #centos-arm on irc.freenode.net == Special thank you message I'd like to say thank you to Pablo Greco, who helped a lot for this release, with all the hard work he did during the CentOS 7.4.1708 days to catch up with all the packages that weren't able to build, work that permits now to have a armhfp release set as close as possible with the upstream x86_64 one.
