SL7 Project: EL7 component porting progress
For each local package in lcfg_sl6_lcfg we list the current EL7 status - ported, needs work, not yet tackled, etc. Key:
-
It seems to function. It's configured and available for EL7.
-
We know it needs work, or it's currently getting attention.
- Things in italics weren't in SL6 but are needed for EL7.
-
Crossed out things
will never work on EL7 and will not be ported.
