Hi All,
Thank you for the notification Sandro, I had forgot the engine ran on Centos 8 Stream.
I’m currently working on a Rocky 9.4 build of the Engine Appliance (Basically replacing anywhere there is Centos 9 Stream with Rocky 9. As that’s personally what I’ve switched to
since Stream. I’ve got the RPM built for the appliance with what I believe to be built using Rocky 9.4, and just in the process of building up the hosts before I can deploy and test it.
I don’t know if this is of any use to the community at all. Happy to submit Pull requests to the relevant projects if so? No guarantee if they are complete builds using Rocky 9!
I Reckon I could be finding loose ends for a while.
I’d like to see oVirt thrive, I’m personally not ready to make the full Jump across to the likes of OpenStack, so will need to use something like this for the foreseeable.
Kind Regards,
Nathan

Hi, just a reminder that CentOS Stream 8 reached its end of life at the end of last month on Friday, May 31, 2024.
As it has been announced by CentOS project[1], all the CentOS Stream 8 repositories are going to be archived at vault.centos.org .
Who didn't update yet to CentOS Stream 9 will probably hit several errors related to this archiving: you'll need to manually adjust the repository url to point to the new location at
vault.centos.org.
The archiving is going to happen today [2] with the decommissioning of the nodes used by the CentOS Community Build System used for oVirt builds for Stream 8 within the CentOS Virtualization SIG.
At this point, the recommendation is to upgrade to CentOS Stream 9 (or derived) as soon as practical.
For those who are pushing changes to the oVirt project, please note GitHub actions may start to fail on CentOS Stream 8 (and with that, the builds for oVirt Node and oVirt Appliance).
It's up to you to decide if you want to change the config there to use a different el8 distribution for running the tests or just turn off el8 and rely only on CentOS Stream 9 tests.
