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.
We deploy Ceph from Proxmox (Debian) repos, but I upstream support would
be nice, and I have a strong dev background too :)
I see that new minimum versions for R will be OK in order to support
Debian 11, which is nice (Debian 12 seems could be released mid-2023).
I also see that with the proposed plan, Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04 will
have 2 supported versions each, with one overlaped between Ubuntu
versions, which will ease upgrades.
The same or better applies for CentOS.
I know the effort required to support older distros, both due to older
versions in toolchain/dependencies and also in
testing/infraestructure/support/bugfixing work.
I think the proposal is good so that effort and resources can be used to
get higher quality R.
Thanks a lot
