Debian 8 is still LTS-supported for a year, unless there is urgency to drop support for it the right time for dropping would be after 2.8 (2.9 release and Debian 8 LTS EOL will both be in Q2 2020). Should OpenSuse be dropped, or just the version upgraded to 15.1? Fedora 28 is also unsupported (but will be the basis of CentOS 8). > Initially this involves removing them from the > SANITY_TESTED_DISTROS list in Poky, at some point during this cycle we > may remove those distributions from the Yocto Project autobuilder to > add more workers for other supported distributions. > > It is expected that the next release will probably work on those two > distributions, there are no plans to do new and exciting things > dropping these unsupported distributions enables -- like increasing > the minimum Python version to 3.5 until after the 2.8 release in > October. CentOS 7 is based on Fedora 19 from 2013. This is the oldest currently supported distribution, and when to remove support for it (replacing it with the not yet existing CentOS 8) should IMHO be part of this discussion. >... > Ross cu Adrian -- "Is there not promise of rain?"
