It's socket-activated, so doesn't really take up memory unless you actively use it.

Jira is, uh, not my favorite software (ask my manager), but "AI-based replacement Jira" is the worst AI thing I've heard, and that's saying _a lot_.

In Fedora, we don't "support" third-party packages or installation of software because we can't do much about it if something is wrong. You should go to the provider of the software for help. But we certainly support you

It's not necessarily about being "one program". It's this part: "The “Corresponding Source” for a work in object code form means all the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable work) run the

ChatGPT, for all its amazingness, _never_ follows instructions. It just appears to, as it generates likely text. This is incredibly important to understand — it isn't a generalized AI. Larger and more sophisticated models will do the p

I don't know about "sed-replace", but you can download the RHEL selinux-policy source package from https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/rpms/selinux-policy

> There is no any guarantees Stream doesn't break ABI compatibility. This is incorrect. Or, sure, there are no _guarantees_, but any such break would also break a future RHEL release, and is therefore a bug. 2. Five years.

Try https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/package-browser You should also be able to use yum/dnf to download the srpms from your dev program system.

I don't know the specifics but I would be surprised if this isn't one of the areas under consideration.

To be clear, I'm RHEL and CentOS _adjacent_, rather than actively _in_ them. But I think (rough launch and more than a few communication issues) aside this is generally gonna be positive.

In complete seriousness, I think there are three broad categories: * Use cases which actually despite the fears will be covered just fine by Stream * Use cases which will be covered by the upcoming expanded no-cost/low-cost RHEL progra

I can totally reassure you on your last concern: everything that goes into Stream is approved for a minor release in RHEL. That's not changing at all. Cutting edge is still Fedora's turf. :)

Change is scary.

Right, so: for this case, CentOS Stream will be virtually identical to the CentOS Linux RHEL rebuild.

Okay, this is a serious question. For me, not an official RH position. In my time in HPC, nodes were baked with a specific image and then that basically never ever got updates. As I came to that as a sysadmin from other areas, I found that

Fedora releases every six months. RHEL has a major release every three years, with minor releases every six months. The major release of RHEL is usually forked from a Fedora version about a year before the major release, so with some except

Fedora doesn't like to be put in that particular niche anyway. Yes, Fedora is fast moving and it is what Red Hat uses as the base for major releases, but we're more than "Redhat-unstable" in so many ways. CentOS Stream w

CentOS Stream is going to move at the same pace as RHEL, just ahead of it.

by mattdm 6y ago
I think there might be some confusion about "rolling" in the context of CentOS Stream. The updates are continuous and there's not released minor versions, but all changes are changes that are intended to _very shortly_ land i

I'm a little confused by this. Well, first, I'd encourage you to try Fedora Workstation for your family -- we've worked on making upgrades painless, so that they're basically an automated thing that happens while you go

And this will be expanding to cover more use cases. See https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/faq-centos-stream-updates#Q10 : _In the first half of 2021, we will be introducing low- or no-cost programs for a variety of us

Yes, this is exactly it. The conspiracy theories about buying-CentOS-to-kill it are understandable but totally off-base. Red Hat brought CentOS in-house at a time when the company was trying to grow from being a single-product company to a
