[lqcd-users] 24s AL9.4 to 9.5 Tuesday

[Laura Hild]

Happy Wednesday, everyone-

I regularly patch the QCD 24s cluster on the CST Division's monthly maintenance day, the third Tuesday.  I do not ordinarily announce the patches because they are within a single minor release of the operating system.  This time, next Tuesday, the 21st, the updates will cross a minor release, taking us from AlmaLinux 9.4 to AlmaLinux 9.5.  A summary of changes can be found at

  https://wiki.almalinux.org/release-notes/9.5.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 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!
