I've been running 4.5.4-1 on RHEL8 for a while now; been running fine for my needs. I
was getting around the unholy dependency issue caused by the centos-release package
conflicting with the redhat-release package by upgrading everything else -- not it.
It's been necessary to do this since RHEL versions were higher than any CentOS 8
Stream versions. This time round since CentOS has been archived, I made sure to install
anything I hadn't and then manually purged centos-release from the rpm database. This
allowed RHEL to update to 8.10, including the release package this time. Not expecting an
issue since there won't be any future patches coming from that repo.
If I decide to stick with oVirt and install daily snapshots, I assume what I will have to
do is setup a new CentOS Steam 9 server, create a backup of the old server, and then
restore on the new server. Like what I did when I was forced to migrate from CentOS 8 to
RHEL8 (with CentOS 8 Stream packages). Is this right?
I haven't decided if I want to do this. CentOS Stream 9 is supported until mid 2027;
RHEL 8.10 is supported until mid 2029. Barring any new features or major incompatibility,
I really don't see a pressing reason to do this. In fact, with no one stepping in to
take over the project, there is a better chance of being supported by sticking with RHEL
8.10 (2+ years).
