[DISCUSS] drop support for CentOS6 with 4.10

[Pierre-Luc Dion]

Since 4.10 require JDK8, should we drop support for CentOS 6 as OS for
management-server and usage ?

all the Upgrade path tests I've made was by creating new management server
on CentOS 7 that have updated tomcat and openJDK 8.  our packages (RPMs)
install well on centos7 and I'm not away somebody test them on centos6.

Should we call a vote on this?  I'm writing the upgrade part of the release
notes and I would focus on centos7 only. we should also update our Quick
Install Guide...


Thanks,

PL

CentOS 6 



CentOS-6 updates until November 30, 2020

CentOS 7 



CentOS-7 updates until June 30, 2024

End of support dates from 
https://wiki.centos.org/FAQ/General#head-fe8a0be91ee3e7dea812e8694491e1dde5b75e6d


Is there any reason why anyone would still be installing CentoOS6 on a 
new installation?
I have not had any trouble running anything on CentoOS 7  that ran on 
CentOS 6.


Is there any reason why someone would want to upgrade Cloudstack on a 
Centos6 installation where upgrading to Centos 7 would be a problem.


It would certainly simplify documentation/instructions if one does not 
have to sort through /etc/init.d... and systemctl ... at every step that 
involves system functions.

The scripts are very useful. Thanks for all the hardwork Will and
Pierre-Luc.

Hey All,
I just sent Rajani a more detailed email including the actual
output, but I
figured I might as well send out a more general email to let
everyone know
about this work.

https://github.com/swill/generate_acs_rn

When I was the 4.9 RM, I added the ability to output the API
changes in a
JSON format [1] in addition to the existing TXT format. I did
this so I
could use this output to script the formatting of the respective
release
notes.

Today I finally got around to releasing the code I had written
to produce
the 'API Changes' [2] and 'Fixed Issues' [3] sections of the
release notes,
so I figured I would let people know about it.

Please feel free to offer suggestions or open Pull Requests if
you would
like changes.

Cheers,

Will

Re: next major release

[Wei ZHOU]

It depends on how many new futures or improvements will be merged.

Here are some features we are interested (and in progress)
- CloudStack Container Service (by shapeblue)
- NoVNC console (GSoC project)
- Config Drive (by wido)
- Network/VPC VR bug fixes

I vote for 5.0.0.0 if all above are done.
