Alma Linux 8.x has been out since the beginning of 2021, and it's active support ends in just over a year.

Alma Linux 9 has been out for 5 months, and was wondering when CWP will start supporting it.

Likewise, any updates re: AlmaLinux and RockyLinux support would be appreciated. With just over a year to plan a migration from CentOS 7 before it is EOL (2024.06), I would like to have security knowing I can convert my live systems after testing and they will be largely bug free and fully functional!

CWP works fine on AlmaLinux 8.7.

We have tested CWP on AlmaLinux 9.1, but some features do not work like PHP Selector.

We look forward to your announcements about AlmaLinux 9.x.

Question will be, will CWP support alma linux9?

Starburst

Don't see why not.

AlmaLinux 9 and Rocky Linux 9 will probably both be supported, just like their current version 8 is.

We do have very clear confirmation from Josemnunez that the dev team is hard at work on EL9 support. So no promised time frame, but they are indeed working toward that goal. And if AlmaLinux and Rocky stick to their current target of binary/API level compatibility (not necessarily bug-for-bug clone status any more), those distributions should count toward EL9 compatibility.

Glad to hear and can't wait for this  :)
