Looking through the failures are reasons behind them:

The v4 action switches from node.js 16 (EOL a month ago) to 20, which n newer glibc/c++ that is missing on CentOS 7 and Ubuntu 18.04.

The latter has gone EOL a few months ago - Ubuntu are providing extra (read $$$$$) HWE support. The former is still supported until mid 2024, although with the overall CentOS future looking fuzzy I'm inclined to drop it earlier than later. Unless we have someone to semi-actively maintain it of course.

So I'm inclined to simply drop the two - CentOS 7 and Ubuntu 18.04 - and merge this.

@scaronni any preferences, suggestions?

@fishilico you've added the initial CI (huge thanks for which). Did you add CentOS with a particular use-case in mind? If so would you be interested in maintaining it or any other version?

I'm still packaging DKMS for CentOS 7 in EPEL until the EOL date (2024.06), but I think you can remove it anyway from the tests.

Ouch - are you still packaging the latest or you're using a fixed older version? AFAICT there is nothing security-wise in the diff log in the action, so there's no need to actually update it.

Edit: Considering the EOL numbers - Stream 8 is EOL in April 2024, while 7 is July 2024 - I'm inclined that we can leave this PR open until then ;-)

I'm updating to the latest on all supported EPEL/Fedora releases. The DKMS package is then picked up by Nvidia and AMD for bundling in their RPM based installers (graphic card drivers from AMD, DGX packages from Nvidia, etc.).

Plus we use them at work :)

Thanks - flipping to draft.

This can sit until some point next year (edit: or later) IMHO. I really don't want to make your life harder than needed. Especially since there is no obvious benefit of using the newer actions.
