[eduVPN-deploy] CentOS 8 support?

[Wenche Backman-Kamila]

Hi,

I would just like to point out that I have a customer (a university) in Finland that won't deploy eduVPN before there is CentOS 8 support.

Regards,

Wenche

That's great to hear!

Yeah, I can understand that! I want that myself as well! I'd have 
released eduVPN with CentOS 8 support on release day if it was up to me!

The eduVPN code is completely ready for it, except EPEL8 does not have 
the required PHP packages to be able to run on CentOS 8 + EPEL. This is 
deferred at least until CentOS 8.1 and possibly later [1]. I didn't want 
to put all dependencies in my repository as well...

We _could_ use the Remi repository [2] to get it working, but so far it 
doesn't seem *that* important to rush with CentOS 8 support...

François
