[SOLVED] Nux repo for CentOS-8

Post by scottro » 2019/11/14 16:32:31

I have this vague feeling that I read or heard somewhere that Nux won't be doing a repo for CentOS-8 as he's gotten too busy. Am I correct or did I imagine or dream this?

I AM NOT SURE THAT THIS IS CORRECT. Please note that, I don't want to spread FUD if it's nothing but something I
misread or imagined.

You're correct. That leaves the best place to get multimedia related packages for el8 as rpmfusion.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
Use the FAQ Luke

I'm going to add that so far, epel-testing and rpmfusion are meeting my needs. (For multimedia, I wanted mpv and ffmpeg.)
