CentOS Stream 8 Cockpit version

[Paul Richards]

Hello,
I've noticed that the version of Cockpit in CentOS Stream 8 is much
newer than other "stable" distros:

CentOS Stream 8: 250
Ubuntu 20.04: 215
Debian 11: 239

I know that Cockpit is a RedHat project, so perhaps this isn't too
surprising, but is the policy around CentOS Stream updates for Cockpit
explicitly documented somewhere?  Will CentOS Stream always have a
relatively up to date version of Cockpit?

Thanks,

[Matej Marusak]

Hi,
the difference is how these OSes deliver their content. For Ubuntu and
Debian you need to enable backports and install newer versions from those.
Please see https://cockpit-project.org/running.html#debian

We deliver to Ubuntu and Debian as long as the release cycle allows us to
do so (until freezes and such).

Hope that helps,
