[Hps] [Jlab-scicomp-briefs] Farm AL9.5 to 9.6 Tuesday

[Laura Hild via Jlab-scicomp-briefs]

Happy Thursday, everyone-
 
We regularly patch the Farm on the CST Division's monthly maintenance day, the third Tuesday.  We do not ordinarily announce the patches because they are within a single minor release of the operating system.  This time, next Tuesday, the 17th, the updates will cross a minor release, taking us from AlmaLinux 9.5 to AlmaLinux 9.6.  A summary of changes can be found at
 
  https://wiki.almalinux.org/release-notes/9.6.html#changelog
 
and the upstream operating system vendor's compatibility guide can be found at
 
  https://access.redhat.com/articles/rhel9-abi-compatibility
 
I do not expect the update to require you to take any action, but it is more likely with the minor-version update than with the regular patches, so I am forewarning you.  Please file a ServiceNow Incident at https://jlab.servicenowservices.com/scicomp with any questions or concerns.  Thank you!
 
-Laura
