[Announcements for BES Administrators]

BigFix Patch is pleased to announce support for CentOS 8 on x86_64.

The new site called 'Patches for CentOS 8' uses dnf, which is CentOS 8’s default package manager, and contains content from the following channels for CentOS 8 systems:

  *   CentOS 8 for x86_64 - BaseOS (RPMs)
  *   CentOS 8 for x86_64 - AppStream (RPMs)

Actions to Take
CentOS 8 requires BigFix Client version 9.5 Patch 14 (9.5.14.73) or later.

Subscribe to the 'Patches for CentOS 8' site from the License Overview Dashboard. If the site is not showing in the License Overview dashboard, update your license from the dashboard by clicking ‘Check for license update’, then run the BigFix Administration Tool.

You will also need to upgrade the CentOS Download Plug-in R2 to version 1.0.0.4. Upgrade the CentOS Download Plug-in R2 from the Manage Download Plug-ins dashboard, available from the ‘Patching Support’ site.
