Hi folks, In the Ceph Leadership Team meeting today we discussed dropping support for older distros in our Reef release. CentOS 9 and Ubuntu Jammy (22.04) have been out for a while. With recent changes in Ceph's main branch, it will make it easier to minimally require CentOS 9 and Ubuntu Jammy with Python 3.9+ and a newer GCC. Practically for users, this means we'd stop building and shipping RPMs for CentOS 8 and debs for Ubuntu Focal from download.ceph.com. We would make this change for the "main" branch soon, and Reef would be the first stable release with this change (early-to-mid 2023). As usual we would continue to build the older distro's packages (eg CentOS 8 and Focal packages) for Quincy and earlier. We have not shipped CentOS 9 packages or Ubuntu Jammy for Quincy to download.ceph.com yet, and we plan to do that soon. - Ken _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list -- ceph-users@xxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to ceph-users-leave@xxxxxxx
