It appears most of the CentOS team spent July on vacation. Not much new on the Wiki page https://wiki.centos.org/About/Building_8. There is one new line: "2019-07-26 The work on getting images and builds in place are ongoing. Packages have been built and the work on getting the installer integrated with the code is ongoing." Today the number of failed package builds rose from 21 to 24. See https://koji.mbox.centos.org/koji/builds?state=3&order=-build_id. In theory none of this should hold back anyone's new installation plans. Red Hat now officially supports upgrading from a fully-updated RHEL 7.6 to 8.0. If you're waiting for CentOS 8 to be released before building a new server or workstation, don't. Go ahead and build it with CentOS 7.6 and keep it updated nightly. When CentOS 8 is finally released, you'll be able to upgrade to it directly. --Doc
