CentOS 8 Why is the development not completed? As you may know, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 has been released on 7 May at 2019 . The new distribution comes enhanced with thecase of new features, but because of “Enterprise” it costs…
So distribution fans (like me) who are not interested in an enterprise solution are anxiously awaiting it upgrade of CentOS operating system.
The CentOS operating system is developed by an open source partner community. CentOS users are typically companies and individuals who do not need strong commercial support for their operating system.
As we have said to you previous publication, the development of the upcoming CentOS 8.0.1905 has started immediately, but for some time it seems that is stuck.
What happened;
The answer is coming 4 months after the release of RHEL8 and one
about a month after the release of the CentOS 7.7 update.
After a question from a distribution friend who lost his patience, and misunderstanding that IBM may be responsible, got an answer by Johnny Hughes (Principal Software Engineer at Red Hat and developer of the CentOS distribution) which explains the delay.
According to Hughes, it was given priority in the development of the 7.7 security update that is already used by millions of users and companies.
On the contrary, no one uses CentOS 8.0.1905 distribution.
Anyway, the upcoming release is too late, reminding the old friends of the distribution, the first days of its release.
The good news; CentOS developers seem to have separated the development of the 8 version from that of 7.7, as shown in the figure above. Now the project has to move forward.
