UKarsten Wade, osebenza eRed Hat y usebenzile Kwibhodi yabalawuli beCentOS okoko yaqalayo, trató ukucacisa izizathu ezingasemva utshintsho kwiprojekthi yeCentOS. Ngo-2003, iRed Hat yahlulahlula ukusasazwa kweRed Hat Linux kwiiprojekthi ezimbini: iRed Hat Enterprise Linux kunye neFedora Linux yasimahla, ebimiswe njengolwabiwo olukhula ngokukhawuleza kunye nomjikelo wenkxaso omfutshane, ofanelekileyo kuvavanyo lobuchwephesha kumasebe exesha elizayo. YeRHEL.
Ukukwazi ukufaka iRed Hat Linux simahla kulahlekile Kwaye ekuphenduleni kwimfuno yokuzinza okuzinzileyo, okuhlaziyiweyo, kunye nokugcinwa kwexesha elide, iprojekthi yeCentOS yenziwa ngabantu abanomdla. I-CentOS igcwalise i-niche ngokusasazwa kwemizi-mveliso yasimahla ehambelana ngokupheleleyo neRHEL, kodwa khange isombulule ingxaki ngokuvula uphuhliso lweRHEL. Ukupheliswa kophuhliso lwakudala lweCentOS endaweni yeCentOS Stream yayiluhlobo lokulalanisa olwasivumela ukuba sihambise inkqubo yophuhliso lweRHEL kwindlela evulekileyo kwaye sinike amalungu omntu wesithathu ithuba lokuthatha inxaxheba kuphuhliso lweRHEL.
Endaweni yokwakha ngaphandle kwebhokisi iiphakheji ze-RHEL, apho uluntu ngaphambili lwalungenakuba nefuthe nangayiphi na indlela, i-CentOS iyaxakaniseka kwiprojekthi yokuqala ye-RHEL kwaye iya kusebenza njengesiseko sophuhliso lwakho. Amaqela esithathu aya kuba nakho ukulawula ukulungiswa kwamaphakeji e-RHEL, ukucebisa ngotshintsho lwabo, kunye nefuthe kwizigqibo. Ubanga ukuba intsha I-CentOS iya kuba nakho ukugubungela i-95% yokuhamba komsebenzi okusetyenziselwe i-CentOS yakudala, Kunye nokusetyenziswa okuseleyo, iRed Hat ijonge ukubonelela ngezisombululo ezisekwe kwi-RHEL, ezinje ngolwandiso kwinkqubo yonjiniyela yeRed Hat Enterprise, echaza iindawo ezisetyenziswa simahla zeRHEL.
Utshintsho lweprojekthi ephambili ye-CentOS endaweni yophuhliso olufanayo lwesebe elihlaziyiweyo eliqhubekayo leCentOS Stream Kuchazwa ngokungafuni ukufefa imikhosi kumacala amabini; ngokweRed Hat, ukuzama ukwenza izinto ezimbini ezichaseneyo kuya kukhokelela kwinto yokuba zombini ziya kwenziwa gwenxa. Ngokugxila kuCentOS Stream, inkampani inethemba lokuba isiphumo siya kuba sisasazeko esingaguquguqukiyo nesithembekileyo esihlangabezana neemfuno zoluntu.
Kude kube ngoku, ikhonkco lokuphuhlisa belijongeka njengoku: umfanekiso okhawulezileyo wenye yeenguqulelo zeFedora uthathwe njengesiseko sesebe elitsha leRHEL, ecocekileyo kwaye yazinziswa emva kweengcango ezivaliweyo, ngaphandle kwesakhono sokulawula inkqubela phambili kunye nezigqibo zophuhliso. Ngokusekwe ngaphandle kwe-bhokisi, iinguqulelo zeCentOS zenziwa, zihambelana ngokupheleleyo neRHEL. Ikhonkco elitsha libandakanya ukuhanjiswa kwenkqubo yophuhliso ukusuka kwi-RHEL ukuya kwi-CentOS; ngokusekwe kwi-Fedora snapshot, ngokuthatha inxaxheba kwabahlali, ingxelo elandelayo ebalulekileyo yeCentOS Stream iyakwenziwa, emva koko iRHEL iya kwakha kwakhona isekwe kuCentOS Stream.
Ngelishwa Iindleko zokuguqula i-CentOS iya kuba yilahleko yokuhambelana ngokugqibeleleyo okubini kunye neRHELkunye nokwehla okungaphephekiyo kwinqanaba lozinzo kunye nokufaneleka kokuthunyelwa kwemveliso. Iiprojekthi zeRocky Linux ezivela kumdali weCentOS, iOracle Linux kunye neCloudLinux's Lenix zizama ukugcwalisa indawo engenamntu. Abasebenzisi be-CentOS abafuna iRHEL epheleleyo yokwakha ngokutsha kwaye i-CentOS yabo entsha engabavumeli ukusombulula imisebenzi eyimfuneko baya kuba nakho ukufudukela kwezi projekthi.
Ukongeza, sinokuqaphela ukupapashwa kodliwanondlebe noGregory Kurtzer, umseki weprojekthi yeCentOS kunye nomqalisi we ulwakhiwo ngokutsha lweRocky Linux, Kunye nodliwanondlebe noPablo Greco, umgcini weCentOS wakhela uyilo lwearmhfp, kunye noRitch Bowen, uRed Hat onoxanduva lokunxibelelana noluntu lweCentOS.
Ngokuka-Pablo Greco, iprojekthi ye-CentOS ifile kwaye ayisekho, njengoko i-CentOS Stream ingeyiyo i-CentOS, kodwa liqonga nje lokuphuhlisa uhlobo olulandelayo lwe-RHEL. UPablo ukwabonisa ukuba akangomqeshwa weRed Hat, kwaye nangona engumlondolozi wenye yezinto ezahlukileyo zeCentOS, akukho namnye owaxoxa ngesicwangciso sokuguqula iCentOS ngaphambi kokubhengezwa ngokusesikweni.
