Drop CentOS 6 support after November 30, 2020
CentOS 6 EOL date is November 30, 2020. We should decide on it's support for In GitLab CI, CentOS 6 jobs will only be run for BIND 9.11 and BIND 9.11-S.9_11
and 9_16
(it was dropped on main
since the 9.17 epoch started).
Given that v9_16
is still under very active development (DoH) with dependencies being added (libnghttp2), I suggest CentOS 6 is dropped after November 30, 2020 and we spare us the headache of building dependencies (libev) for new BIND dependencies (libnghttp2).
Outstanding tasks:
-
Prepare and send an announcement to bind-users -
(!4392 (merged)) Drop CentOS 6 jobs from GitLab CI for v9_16
