Whats the plan heading forward for edgelinux with CentOS being dead now? Is this already being discussed somewhere else? Seems like a bunch of posts just got approved, so its difficult to navigate the forums now.

Hi hustlebird,

I went through to approve and/or reply to many posts.  There wasn't any posts referring to this issue.

Our edgeLinux 2.0 is based on CentOS 7 with end-of-life to June 2024.

We've been in discussions about where we are going to migrate to, but we haven't made any decisions yet.

We'll keep you updated on developments.

Thanks.

I think saying that CentOS is dead is a little misleading. RHat has just changed the way it tracks the development cycle of RHEL .. most folks could probably move to CentOS Stream without any issues. I read that RedHat will be offering a free dev license that will allow up to 16 servers at no cost. I know this doesn't really help Antsle since they use CentOS in a production level product.. obviously Stream would not work. There is "Rocky Linux" (coming soon) and "Alma Linux" .. the cool thing about Linux is that there are so many choices available. I for one am not too worried about this! This video by Jason Canon helped me put my company at ease:

Hello!

Here's an update regarding the OS that edgeLinux is based on.

Our developers are working on next major version of edgeLinux which will be Debian-based OS although we do not have an ETA at this time.

Thank you,

Hi @helga

Thanks for reaching out to our forums.

From speaking with our development team at antsle, Inc, they are working on new version of edgeLinux that will be based on Debian 11.  We don't have timeline or ETA at this time, but it has been under development.

Thank you,
antsle Support

CentOS may or may not be "dead".  That's of little concern to me. What is a concern is that CentOS 7 is EOL in under 40 days. Did I miss an announcement or email? What's the plan? The last release for **anything** listed on Release Announcements - Antsle: The #1 software for on-premise, private cloud servers was over a year ago. If the project has been abandoned, please announce that and open source the code. My subscription for "updates" just renewed. I'm curious what I'm paying for at this point.
