CentOS

CentOS è una distribuzione Linux al 100% compatibile con Red Hat Enterprise Linux e perfettamente adeguata alle direttive di Red Hat riguardante la redistribuzione del proprio codice. CentOS è pensate per persone che hanno bisogno di sistemi enterprise molto stabili ma senza dover sostenere il costo di supporto e certificazione.

Versione 7.7.1908

Questa versione contiene (in Inglese):

• Updates released since the upstream release are all posted, across all architectures. We strongly recommend every user apply all updates,
  including the content released today, on your existing CentOS Linux 7 machine by just running ‘yum update’.
• As with all CentOS Linux 7 components, this release was built from sources hosted at git.centos.org. In addition, SRPMs that are a byproduct of the build (and also considered critical in the code and buildsys process) are being  published to match every binary RPM we release. Sources will be available from vault.centos.org in their own dedicated directories to match the corresponding binary RPMs. Since there is far less traffic to the CentOS source RPMs compared with the binary RPMs, we are not putting this content on the main mirror network. If users wish to mirror this content they can do so using the reposync command available in the yum-utils package. All CentOS source RPMs are signed with the same key used to sign their binary counterparts. Developers and end users looking at inspecting and contributing patches to the CentOS Linux distro will find the code hosted at git.centos.org far simpler  to work against. Details on how to best consume those are documented along with a quick start at : http://wiki.centos.org/Sources
• Debuginfo packages are also being signed and pushed. Yum configs shipped in the new release file will have all the context required for debuginfo to be available on every CentOS Linux install. This release supersedes all previously released content for CentOS
• Linux 7, and therefore we highly encourage all users to upgrade their machines. Information on different upgrade strategies and how to handle stale content is included in the Release Notes. Note that older content, obsoleted by newer versions of the same applications are trim’d off from repos like Extras/ and Plus/ However this time we have also extended this to the SIG content hosted at mirror.centos.org, and some older End of Life content has been dropped. Everything we ever release, is always available on the vault service for people still looking for and have a real need for it.
