[AWIPS #JDF-804716]: Move from CentOS 7

> Hello,
> Following up on a question from a few months ago;  do you have a replacement 
> for CentOS 7 in mind for AWIPS II (Cave and Edex)?.  I know CentOS 7 is not 
> EOL till June 30, but some vendors for our other software packages have 
> stopped supporting their products on CentOS 7.  I have moved my servers 
> (other than EDEX) to Rocky 9.3, but my labs are still at CentOS 7 due to 
> Cave, and I need to get them switched for the other software packages.
> Any timeline on the change?  Are you going with Rocky?  I volunteer to be a 
> test site if needed.

Hello,

We are actively developing for our next release which will be available for 
RHEL/Rocky8. We just recently received the code set from the National Weather 
Service and are going as fast as we can. We are developing this and will be 
hosting our EDEX server on Rocky8 OS. Everything is in flux, but we are hoping 
to have something out before Centos7 EOL. We can reach out when we have a test 
version available.

Thanks,
