Good afternoon from Singapore,

According to the CentOS 8 build timeline, everything has been completed except release work. Does this mean CentOS 8 will be released soon?

  • It means dealing with a ton of little IRQ’s that built up over the builds. There are all the updates which have gone out from Red Hat since their .0. There are trying to find all the little nagging things people find which someone will say ‘Why didn’t CentOS people actually find this blaringly obvious problem I found in 30 seconds.. are they all idiots?’ which happens right after every release. And there are the ‘ok could we get this one more thing?’ stuff which pile up also. This happens in some every .0 release from 4 onward.. 2-3 weeks where people wonder why stuff is being held from them…

  • I have had several people explain to me that my comments were out-of-place and out-of-turn. When I wrote them originally I thought I
    was going from experience of previous releases and thought I was being matter of fact. In rereading I realized I was crass and grumpy. My un-reserved apologies for that. I should have either not posted or waited, reread and rewritten.

    Just for the record. I found your post not grumpy at all and to the point. But then, I live in a country where the average joke from your good-humoured neighbor would get you a lawsuit for harrassment in the United States.

    :o)

    Cheers,

  • I’m with Nicolas Kovacs. I thought your post was factual and funny. I
    felt the reply you got was kinda rude and I had the impression the poster didn’t actually read what you wrote, preferring to infer insult where none was offered. In my opinion, the folks who admonished you don’t know what they’re talking about.

  • Hello,

    I’m seconding what Christofer and Nicolas both say. Nothing harsh in Stephen’s post, quite pertinent, even.

    Regards,

  • I believe it is supposed to be:

    “I doubt that! Releasing CentOS 7.7 is a higher priority, as many people are using CentOS 7.”

    Punctuation is important.

  • I have yet another theory. He probably meant to say:

    “I suspect that releasing…”

    As someone who is not a native English speaker, I know how this happens. “doubt” and “suspect” can be translated into the same word
    (certainly in Japanese). As a result, these two words are often used incorrectly.

  • I think releasing 7.7 is much important. since 8.1 is coming soon it seems meaningless to release 8.0. we know RHEL X.0 is basically a beta version which just encourage people to try it. even RedHat support 8.0
    only for a very short period of time.
