Hello,

The end of Scientific Linux is near. Following the upstream release cycle:[1]

On June 30, 2024 Scientific Linux 7 will reach End of Life.

No security updates for SL7 will be published after June 30, 2024.

After June 30:

    The installation trees will be moved into the 'obsolete' directory.
    Kickstart and yum operations against the old repository locations will no longer work.
    the official docker images for SL7 (docker pull sl:7) will be retired
    A copy of the final docker image will be placed in the 'obsolete' directory under 7x/x86_64/os/images/docker.

The files themselves will remain available under the 'obsolete' directory.[2]

Users of Scientific Linux 7 should migrate to an actively maintained operating system. At Fermilab, AlmaLinux 9 is the recommended choice.[3]

AlmaLinux 8 is available for folks as well.[3]
