The subscription-manager dnf plugin is disabled by default as part of our debranding in both CentOS Linux and CentOS Stream. c8: https://git.centos.org/rpms/subscription-manager/blob/580aca8629536c64577e6a443b9349ecb629cc17/f/SPECS/subscription-manager.spec#_850 c8s: https://git.centos.org/rpms/subscription-manager/blob/603dc4a304e237a71a056f674378ff5113a7f710/f/SPECS/subscription...

...latest update (as far as I can tell, anyway). > Yes .. the announcements were stuck in the outbound queue .. and the CentOS-7 one had to be regenerated. The actual RPMs where released last week when they were built. (The announcements were delayed). When the CentOS team changes a package for debranding, except the kernel which has to have the exact same name for 3rd Party Modules or Drivers, we change the dist tag to .el7.centos (or .el6.centos or .el5.centos). We do this to denote that the package has been modified. We only modify packages in the BASE operating system for debranding to meet the...

That term was bandied about on social media by people who were speculating about the reasoning behind discontinuing the practice of debranding and publishing packages from RHEL minor releases. Mike McGrath responded to the use of that term by social media personalities to explain that the only group that Red Hat (for better or worse) considers freeloaders are large businesses who keep a small number of licensed RHEL systems so that wh...

In another recent thread,[1] someone was having trouble with the yum-plugin-fastestmirror feature, so I suggested he remove it, since it?s just a plugin and should therefore be optional. He reported that it couldn?t be removed due to package dependencies. I investigated further and found that this also affects CentOS 5.11 and CentOS 7.2. (The OP is on CentOS 6.8.) So, I reported it as a bug

...Red Hat never published *all* of RHEL's package source code.? For the first six months of any release of RHEL, they would publish de-branded source by essentially taking one artifact from each build (the src.rpm), unpacking that in a git repository, removing the primary source code archive, debranding what was left, committing all of that, and then pushing the result.? It was basically git as a fancy FTP. They've stopped doing that, in favor of publishing the major-release branch of the git repos for the entire primary support lifecycle of the major release. > The spirit of GPL was...

...ng what people's opinions are on running the CR repository on production systems? I'm currently predisposed to not do it since it indicates it hasn't fully gone through QA yet. But from my understanding except for the alt-arch systems these are just recompiles of the redhat RPMs after debranding right? I'm Curious how other people are treating this repository since, from the sounds of it, rpms are going to be in holding here between releases. So would you treat it as a production repository or for testing only? Do we know how it's actually intended to be treated? Any opinion is...

Both Rocky Linux and AlmaLinux are in a very comfortable position, and they will likely stay that way. my predict is that they will continue as a #rebuilder / #freeloader, writing software is a hard work. SuSe hardfork will probably be only an

Thanks for the replies. I understood that a major part of testing being done by Redhat. But after repackaging the sources how doest CentOS make sure the integrity of the product. Is it being done by a dedicated team or by community ? On Fri, Jun 12, 2015 at 8:37 PM, Jonathan Billings <billings at negate.org> wrote: > On Fri, Jun 12, 2015 at 09:49:42AM +0530, Sudhi wrote: > >

Hi, I help run an NPR/PBS station. We were running ice cast before our most recent upgrade. However after the upgrade we have now been receiving sporadic reports of people being unable to connect. The only confirmed issue is with Saffari on Windows. We are working on that specific one. But I've also received sporadic reports from users on chrome, firefox, mac, and windows and various other

Removing unused dependencies is optional. dnf remove *subscription* --noautoremove should remove the dependent packages but keep thee unused dependencies if you want them.
