Anyone believe that I will, at some point, be able to point my CentOS 8.x configuration at the Rocky Linux repo and just upgrade to it? That would be ideal. I realized GPG keys will need to be replaced, etc.
- Shared404 6y agoI seem to remember seeing somewhere that that was the plan. How accurate that is, I don't know.
- marcolussetti 6y agoI would imagine that to be the future state. Other RHEL-compatible distros offer it, I believe.
- freiheit 6y agoWorst case is might have to also manually replace a few "release" and "logos" packages (which is what's involved now for switching from RHEL to CentOS or OracleLinux)... More likely there'll be a simple script to swap from CentOS (or RHEL) to Rocky.. Or they could have a "rocky-release" package with `Obsoletes: centos-release, redhat-release` and a `yum install https://rockylinux.org/rocky-release-8.2-1.noarch.rpm https://rockylinux.org/rocky-release-8.2-1.noarch.rpm ; yum upgrade` is all that'd be required to swap... TL;DR: should be very easy, but there's minor variations in methods that I doubt are finalized.

- strzibny 6y agoI think so. Oracle Linux is the same kind of clone and does exactly that[0]. [0] https://nts.strzibny.name/migrating-centos-to-oracle-linux/ https://nts.strzibny.name/migrating-centos-to-oracle-linux/
