"Ceph S"? Is that a new stream version or so? No, S is just the next letter after R (for Reef) in the Alphabet, and means the next major release (i.e. 19.2) planned for 2024. S is used as short form of the actual codename, not sure if already definitive but it seems "Squid" was the most popular: https://pad.ceph.com/p/s > > Ceph is currently still developed on rhel9 not? Or is this switching to a stream version? For my upgrade path I would like to chose the distribution closest to the development/testing environment. > FWICT: Ceph isn't developed on a single distro, but targets some distros specifically, which means creating builds for them, and having those included in CI/testing. _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list -- dev@xxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to dev-leave@xxxxxxx
