I am pleased to announce the general availability of CentOS Linux 7(1810) for across our alternative architectures. Effectively immediately, thisis the current release for CentOS Linux 7 and is tagged as 1810, derivedfrom Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.6As always, read through the Release Notes at :http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS7 - these notescontain important information about the release and details about someof the content inside the release from the CentOS QA team. These notesare updated constantly to include issues and incorporate feedback fromthe users.----------Updates, Sources, and DebugInfosUpdates released since the upstream release are all posted, across allarchitectures. We strongly recommend every user apply all updates,including the content released today, on your existing CentOS Linux 7machine by just running 'yum update'.As with all CentOS Linux 7 components, this release was built fromsources hosted at git.centos.org. In addition, SRPMs that are abyproduct of the build (and also considered critical in the code andbuildsys process) are being published to match every binary RPM werelease. Sources will be available from vault.centos.org in their owndedicated directories to match the corresponding binary RPMs. Sincethere is far less traffic to the CentOS source RPMs compared with thebinary RPMs, we are not putting this content on the main mirrornetwork. If users wish to mirror this content they can do so using thereposync command available in the yum-utils package. All CentOS sourceRPMs are signed with the same key used to sign their binarycounterparts. Developers and end users looking at inspecting andcontributing patches to the CentOS Linux distro will find the codehosted at git.centos.org far simpler to work against. Details on howto best consume those are documented along with a quick start at :http://wiki.centos.org/SourcesDebuginfo packages are also being signed and pushed. Yum configsshipped in the new release file will have all the context required fordebuginfo to be available on every CentOS Linux install.This release supersedes all previously released content for CentOSLinux 7, and therefore we highly encourage all users to upgrade theirmachines. Information on different upgrade strategies and how tohandle stale content is included in the Release Notes.Note that older content, obsoleted by newer versions of the sameapplications are trim'd off from repos like Extras/ and Plus/ Howeverthis time we have also extended this to the sIG content hosted atmirror.centos.org, and some older End of Life content has been dropped.Everything we ever release, is always available on the vault service forpeople still looking for and have a real need for it.----------Special notesYou'll see that ppc64 is missing from the download list, don't read too muchinto it. We had a few last minute problems with it and didn't want to delay therelease because of it, ppc64 will be available in the next few days.----------DownloadIn order to conserve donor bandwidth, and to make it possible to getthe mirror content sync'd out as soon as possible, we recommend usingtorrents to get your initial installer images:Details on the images are available on the mirrors in a file called0_README.txt next to the isos. That file clearly highlights the difference in theimages, and when one might be more suitable than the others.Altarch images can be downloaded at :http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/isos/sha256sum for ppc64le15747554800b65b7ef7dcbf16e6045161be536ab830c2bf93b9cd0da315b3545CentOS-7-ppc64le-Everything-1810.iso255681f7d3a0d9fd4855f209f590e99b1a50ca88dfc6910625e2bab0e822cd88CentOS-7-ppc64le-Minimal-1810.iso38102036355c81b968abb98ecf324134118f3b4f4128be0c1cd674f4b7691fe3CentOS-7-ppc64le-NetInstall-1810.isosha256sum for power9:296b54740355c31d0002ccedd40dd7b4926117eaa5d2da1c3d2145694ac92a50CentOS-7-power9-Everything-1810.iso64ac193009e7a6f44c94e5df6a6d5bbac4aa55770960ace88f5814a81a22adabCentOS-7-power9-Minimal-1810.isoaeae31c2ef82a846320103bfe4ef5dcee2816ce04a2e5b4012d87243dbd77fb3CentOS-7-power9-NetInstall-1810.isosha256sum for i386:275cbb40c85bd81357c06cf868b3d40c215fbd111292d9878a1bac1bb3bd8140CentOS-7-i386-Everything-1810.isoa85ed6b6bd1ac3fa96d1960d91b98942c1827a74e25ac741c59990b7d8a83dd4CentOS-7-i386-Minimal-1810.isofefd1e3ab188954ace9c39b42a67b0d6bc485a3e1acff4b2021bb3644399e5faCentOS-7-i386-NetInstall-1810.isoshasum256 for aarch64 / ArmServer:ad0a58bf7c2be9c27827560d3f04e11b83be65320fb9e52d9c4f71ee60a67a25CentOS-7-aarch64-Everything-1810.iso864596b2fb971c8d8c0f3618981cca4725f6c2347f6eb2f130e0aefa3413c0efCentOS-7-aarch64-Minimal-1810.iso4042811a88180c31f868859ee35c35b4a4ec103a7e27f34b4ee05dadc60b72bcCentOS-7-aarch64-NetInstall-1810.isoDetails for Armhfp are posted in its own announce email, following shortly.--------Additional ImagesThe container, Vagrant, Cloud and Atomic Host images are being preparedand will be released in the next few days.
