Remove CentOS/8: the build is broken and CentOS/8 is EOL and won't be fixed by RedHat #223

Closed costanic closed 2 years ago

costanic commented 2 years ago

CentOS/8 has reached End-Of-Life: https://www.centos.org/centos-linux-eol/

We're removing this because CentOS can not be upgraded at runtime with 'dnf update' or 'yum update' which obviously breaks the build.

Here is a link to a centos forum post discussing this error and noting that it WILL NOT be fixed by Redhat and users must instead migrate to a different distribution:

Here is the error:
