RHEL 7 is out, what is the timeline for a CentOS 7 release

Anyone interested in the status of the progress can subscribe to the centos-devel mailing list and receive copious progress reports.

Sure, nothing organized, just banter on an email list. Forums and web pages remain stale.

Could you point to an example of what you consider to be a well organised project with excellent communications? I'd be interested to see what they are using.

FreeBSD does a great job documenting releases.


Example for 10:
Release Schedule:

Agreed.

FreeBSD also has a Board of Directors with 7 members, an 8 member core team and 382 developers with commit access. They were two months over the last delivery date (no doubt for excellent and fully documented reasons).

I think CentOS has 4 core developers and two from Scientific Linux (CERN) with commit access.

You know who else does a good job on documenting releases, RedHat.

If you need a RH7 license RIGHT NOW, then buy one. What is it with all the pressure on CentOS to rush out a release? If you're unhappy with their schedule, stop payment on all the vast sums of money you're paying them.

Of course - but that makes too much sense COS7 will come out and he'll go away until RHEL8 is released and then he'll come back and beat his chest some more

In case you hadn't noticed, CentOS 7.0 is now released.

Yes, both upstream-7 and CentOS 7 - final are already running on over 50 machines here at the moment for regression test.

I was surprised to find a CentOS 7.0 KDE Live iso . . .

CentOS 7.0 KDE Live .iso image was downloaded (in Fedora KDE) - but before burned to DVD with K3b -
it needed to be modified with mkisofs (genisoimage) as a bootable DVD image for Apple hardware,
just as a Fedora Live .iso needs for an IntelMac.



After the install with anaconda from the CentOS-7.0-1406-x86_64-KdeLive -
I can see KDE plasma workspace users wanting to try the new CentOS Linux and the easy KDE performance.

Great job everybuddy.
