Description
May be it is a time to move forward on the master branch.
- Drop RHEL7 support
- Drop ArchLinux support from official
- Rolling model is nasty for the project, we cannot describe which point in the OS side can be compilable and usable...
- Add RHEL9 support (implicitly rocky linux 8)
- Refresh other old Linux distros to the latest version
- Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
- Debian 11 LTS
- May be some Linux distro to consider to add
- Non LTS Ubuntu (is it too aggressive??)
- Non LTF Debian (is it too aggressive??)
- Fedora (is it too aggressive??)
