The CentOS 7 Linux distribution was originally used as the main source for third-party packages in TelcoBridges' operating system. Following the announcement by RedHat that CentOS 7 was end of life as of June 2024 and that they will no longer make the source code for RHEL available, some customers may be concerned about the continuous availability of bugfixes and security patches for their TelcoBridges products. TelcoBridges maintains its own repository called TelcoBridges Linux (tbos). Our products do not have a “hard” dependency on CentOS or RHEL, and the open-source packages that we use remains available from multiple sources, including their original maintainers. Rest assured that TelcoBridges will continue to provide bugfixes and security patches for the *T*Media and ProSBC software to all customers with a support contract. At some point in the future it may be necessary for our customers to perform an upgrade in order to continue receiving software patches. Our support team will provide advance notice and assistance when that happens. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/tmedia-documentation/server-and-os-administration/centos-7-eol.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
