NetworkManager 1.39.6 - 1.39.10 is broken, awaiting new version

Post by elowney » 2022/08/12 17:52:12

In our environment, NetworkManager 1.39.10 completely breaks our systems, so I'm waiting for the official mirrors to be updated, but It's been three weeks so far; previous NetworkManager releases made it into the repo within a week or two.

Is there an estimated timeline when the new fixed version (1.39.11) will appear?

I would suggest yum downgrading to the previous version. Or better, use something less broken than Stream since this is a Stream only bug. Other RHEL clones exist that do not suffer the same regular breakage.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

The RHEL 8.6 and RHEL 9.0 do have NM 1.36.0.
The Stream 8 has NM 1.39.10 (released 2022-07-19).
The Stream 9 has NM 1.39.12 (released 2022-08-03).
The bug #2109285 says that "RHEL 8.7" and "RHEL 9.1" are affected.

Is it reasonable to assume that the 8.7 and 9.1 do already have dedicated branches and that they will have fixed version when they are released (before Christmas)?

Where does that leave Stream 8? Waiting for release of next batch of new features that could go into RHEL 8.8.


* If you do testing and development for future RHEL, then downgrade or use mode that is not affected like the "dhcp=dhclient"
* If you have "production", then look at the EL8 distros
