hi Ernesto and lists, > [1] https://github.com/ceph/ceph/pull/47501 are we planning to backport this to quincy so we can support centos 9 there? enabling that upgrade path on centos 9 was one of the conditions for dropping centos 8 support in reef, which i'm still keen to do if not, can we find another resolution to https://tracker.ceph.com/issues/58832? as i understand it, all of those python packages exist in centos 8. do we know why they were dropped for centos 9? have we looked into making those available in epel?

Compiled components often sort this out by statically linking deps whose packages are not widely available in distros. The approach we're proposing here would be the closest equivalent to static linking for interpreted code (bundling). > > Thanks for sharing your questions! > > Kind regards, > Ernesto > _______________________________________________ > Dev mailing list -- dev@xxxxxxx > To unsubscribe send an email to dev-leave@xxxxxxx _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list -- dev@xxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to dev-leave@xxxxxxx
