Full trees for all arches will be assembled from the new CR packages and any older packages that were already part of the CentOS Linux release.

Final ISO / Install Tree and Final QA work can begin.

Once we are satisfied with CR, we will release CR. Here is a detailed explanation of what the CR repo is. The Continuous Release (CR) Repository is where updates that will be CentOS will initially be released to CentOS Users.

Some things like shim signatures for Secure Boot take outside review by signing authority.

Some things just need to be ordered correctly.

The installer usually takes a certain amount of work to get packaged together.

Then you can start building out the rest of the packages.

Then add some more and possibly repeat 1 & 2 a couple of times. This usually requires a multi-loop as you do a build to get started.Builds can start occurring through the system.There are times when you do replace and times when you don't.No you can't just 'sed s'/Red Hat/CentOS/' (someone always offers that).CentOS needs to go through the source code and find out all the places where debranding is needed.how do you build a version and break the loop (ie - bootstrapping new packages)?

You need golang-(X-1) to build golang-X but golang-(X-1) doesn't exist yet. There are always packaging loops which need to be worked out.CentOS needs to look at the sources and determine what is needed to build these packages.This used to be done via src.rpms but 7 changed to git repos (at ) Steps needed to make a CentOS rebuild usually follow these steps: Since the kernel-alt is no longer being maintained by Red Hat for RHEL-7.9 we are going to try to backport the currently maintained EL8 kernels for ppc64le and aarch64 into CentOS. The CentOS project is going to TRY to maintain our aarch64 and power9 arches in and throughout the entire CentOS 7 Linux life. One major issue with this release is that the aarch64 and power9 (ALT) architectures are no longer being done as part of RHEL-7.9. We are currently building the CentOS- release from those sources. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.9 was released on. Updates At Bottom of Document as Needed.
