CentOS Stream 8 is EOL - Githubissues

CI was failing to build ceph-csi image

CentOS 8 was EOL on 31 May 2024. And quay.io/ceph/ceph:v18 is based on CentOS 8 stream. Probably that is the reason.

pm@dhcp53-176:~$ podman run --rm -it quay.io/ceph/ceph:v18 cat /etc/os-release
NAME="CentOS Stream"
VERSION="8"
ID="centos"
ID_LIKE="rhel fedora"
VERSION_ID="8"
PLATFORM_ID="platform:el8"
PRETTY_NAME="CentOS Stream 8"
ANSI_COLOR="0;31"
CPE_NAME="cpe:/o:centos:centos:8"
HOME_URL="https://centos.org/"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/"
REDHAT_SUPPORT_PRODUCT="Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8"
REDHAT_SUPPORT_PRODUCT_VERSION="CentOS Stream"

Workaround for now will be to update the centos repo url. This should be removed once the base image (ceph) is updated to a version with a newer CentOS.
