+Vox Pupuli dropped support for EL7 distros in the modules a long time ago.
+When we started the OpenVoxProject, we added EL7 packages to enable people an easier migration from the dead Perforce open source packages to the OpenVoxProject.
+Regular EL7 support is dead in all the different distributions.
+Also EL8, EL9 and EL10 are available since a long time.
+Because of that, OpenVoxProject will publish a final round of EL7 packages with the OpenVox agent 8.24.0 release this year.
+Afterwards we will stop maintaining it, unless someone is willing to sponsor the maintenance (see [our support page](https://voxpupuli.org/openvox/support/)).
+
+We will continue Amazon Linux 2 packages until it's EoL in 2026-06-30.
