Yeah a clone or one of the Debians, Let's do it! Stream dailies were always a questionable choice, considering we're storage software. And while we're at it, could we switch to a base image with a minimal SBOM? Whatever we do here, it's a reminder that we need to maintain our old builds, to bridge users across OS's and our Releases. There are plenty of users still running Nautilus on el7. We have rpms for 14.2.22 on el7 and el8. 16.2.15 is el8 only, then we have 17.2.7 builds for el8 and el9. regards, dan _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list -- dev@xxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to dev-leave@xxxxxxx
