CentOS 7

Unread post by Highland »

It's gone live. Looks like they're aiming more squarely at the cloud instances with this one. Of particular interest is this
Numbering

CentOS 7.0-1406 introduces a new numbering scheme that we want to
further develop into the life of CentOS-7. The 0 component maps to the
upstream realease, whose code this release is built from. The 1406
component indicates the monthstamp of the code included in the release
( in this case, June 2014 ). By using a monthstamp we are able to
respin and reissue updated media for things like container and cloud
images, that are regularly refreshed, while still retaining a
connection to the base distro version.

In order to facilitate Special Interest Groups to further extend the
CentOS Linux platform, we are also using component codes. The main
distro is, therefore, titled 'Core'. SIGs would be able to adopt any
name they need and deliver that by overriding the base centos-release rpm.

Any timing for Atomicorp Centos 7 Repos to be active?

Can't use 'wget -q -O - http://www.atomicorp.com/installers/atomic | sh' on a Centos 7 box yet.

I tried to manually install the repo by downloading and installing http://www.atomicorp.com/channels/atomi ... noarch.rpm, but yum fails when trying to access non-existant mirrors list.

As of the time of my posting (approx 4:30 EDT) the mirror list was not present. I see that it is now present, and I am able to get content from the repo.

Additionally, I can now see code in the atomic installer that suggests that the installer should now recognize Centos 7.

Thanks.

I'm still struggling to get openvas installed on Centos 7.

I've installed a fresh Centos 7 box, and then integrated Atomicorp Repo.

When I run 'yum install openvas', the install fails with numerous dependancy issues.

I also don't see any 'clamav' packages for Centos 7 yet.

Any suggestions on how to get either/both of these going on Centos 7 would be appreciated.

Theres still more work to be done on it. A lot of support packages that we'd expect to have on Fedora 20 arent on Centos 7. Those all need to be backported from fedora
