Message-ID: <d66921e0-af2d-ad95-2559-47146b3975bb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"; Format="flowed"
I am pleased to announce the general availability of CentOS 8 (1911) for
armhfp. Effectively immediately, this is the current release for CentOS
8 and is tagged as 1911, derived from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.1.
As always, read through the Release Notes at:
https://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS8.1911 - these notes
contain important information about the release and details about some
of the content inside the release from the CentOS QA team. These notes
are updated constantly to include issues and incorporate feedback from
the users.
----------
Updates, Sources, and DebugInfos
Updates released since the upstream release are all posted. We strongly
recommend every user apply all updates, including the content released
today, on your existing CentOS 8 machine by just running 'yum update'.
As with all CentOS 8 components, this release was built from sources
hosted at git.centos.org. In addition, SRPMs that are a byproduct of the
build (and also considered critical in the code and buildsys process)
are being published to match every binary RPM we release. Sources will
be available from vault.centos.org in their own dedicated directories to
match the corresponding binary RPMs. Since there is far less traffic to
the CentOS source RPMs compared with the
binary RPMs, we are not putting this content on the main mirror network.
If users wish to mirror this content they can do so using the reposync
command available in the yum-utils package. All CentOS source RPMs are
signed with the same key used to sign their binary counterparts.
Developers and end users looking at inspecting and contributing patches
to the CentOS distro will find the code hosted at git.centos.org far
simpler to work against. Details on how to best consume those are
documented along with a quick start at : http://wiki.centos.org/Sources
Debuginfo packages are also being signed and pushed. Yum configs shipped
in the new release file will have all the context required for debuginfo
to be available on every CentOS install.
Everything we ever release, is always available on the vault service for
people still looking for and have a real need for it.
----------
Special notes
For the release of CentOS 8.1905, we didn't make it in time with armhfp,
but now we're on track, releasing all the arches on the same day. Thanks
to everyone who has made this possible.
For CentOS 8, we don't have (yet) RaspberryPi specific kernels, we're
working on a way to simplify the process, and to be able to move between
kernels.
Also, we know that there are some rpms missing in our armhfp repos in
relation to its x86_64 counterpart, we're working on releasing them as
soon as possible.
----------
Download
In order to conserve donor bandwidth, and to make it possible to get the
mirror content sync'd out as soon as possible, we recommend using
torrents to get your initial installer images:
Altarch images can be downloaded at :
http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/8/isos/

on LinkedIn at : https://www.linkedin.com/groups/22405
And you will find the core team and a majority of the contributors on
irc, on freenode.net in #centos and #centos-arm ; talking about the
finer points of distribution engineering and platform enablement.
Also, please consider reading
https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/AltArch/armhfp since it has
a lot of help specific to armhfp.
----------
Contributors
This release was made possible due to the hard work of many people,
foremost on that list are the Red Hat Engineers for producing a great
distribution and the CentOS QA team, without them CentOS would look very
different. Many of the team went further and beyond expectations to
bring this release to you, and I would like to thank everyone for their
help.
We are also looking for people to get involved with the QA process in
CentOS, if you would like to join this please introduce yourself on the
centos-devel list (http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-devel ).
Finally, please join me in thanking the donors who all make this
possible for us.
Enjoy the fresh new release!

Release for CentOS Linux 8 (1911)
We are pleased to announce the general availability of CentOS Linux 8.
Effectively immediately, this is the current release for CentOS Linux 8 and is tagged as 1911, derived
from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.1 Source Code.
As always, read through the Release Notes at :
http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS8.1911 - these notes
contain important information about the release and details about some
of the content inside the release from the CentOS QA team. These notes
are updated constantly to include issues and incorporate feedback from
the users.
----------
Updates, Sources, and DebugInfos
Updates released since the upstream release are all posted, across all
architectures. We strongly recommend every user apply all updates,
including the content released today, on your existing CentOS Linux 8
machine by just running 'dnf update'.
As with all CentOS Linux 8 components, this release was built from
sources hosted at git.centos.org. In addition, SRPMs that are a
byproduct of the build (and also considered critical in the code and
buildsys process) are published to match every binary RPM we
release. Sources will be available from vault.centos.org in their own
dedicated directories to match the corresponding binary RPMs. Since
there is far less traffic to the CentOS source RPMs compared with the
binary RPMs, we are not putting this content on the main mirror
network. If users wish to mirror this content they can do so using the
reposync command available in the yum/dnf-utils package. All CentOS source
RPMs are signed with the same key used to sign their binary
counterparts. Developers and end users looking at inspecting and
contributing patches to the CentOS Linux distro will find the code
hosted at git.centos.org far simpler to work against. Details on how
to best consume those are documented along with a quick start at :
http://wiki.centos.org/Sources
Debuginfo packages have been signed and pushed. Yum configs
shipped in the new release file will have all the context required for
debuginfo to be available on every CentOS Linux install.
This release supersedes all previously released content for CentOS
Linux 8, and therefore we highly encourage all users to upgrade their
machines. Information on different upgrade strategies and how to
handle stale content is included in the Release Notes.
Note that older content, obsoleted by newer versions of the same
applications are trim'd off from repos like extras/ and centosplus/
