Ending Centos 7 support #537

Closed marcschefer closed 1 year ago

marcschefer commented 1 year ago

So currently we have a problem with building for Centos 7 with the latest version of Elements. The default cmake on Centos 7 is very old and continuing to support it would be a lot of work and cause limitations.

The question is do we still need to make those Centos 7 builds?

The Euclid environment is currently based on Centos 7 but they use a more recent version of cmake so ending the Centos 7 support for github builds would have no impact.

Centos 7 users should still be able to use the conda build.

Unless there is another important reason to keep those builds, I propose we drop the Centos 7 support and in the future we could consider adding Rocky Linux support instead at some point.

Thoughts? Do we know of any user currently relying on the Centos 7 builds?

As discussed, CentOS 7 autobuild on github is now removed.
