Easy Apache/EA4 experimental repo for AlmaLinux 9.5?

Hi

I need to install mod_xsendfile for EA4 which is normally found in the EA4 experimental repo.

Our new server has been provisioned with AlmaLinux 9.5 - are there any plans to make the experimental repo available for it?

The docs at https://docs.cpanel.net/ea4/git-repositories/the-experimental-repository/ say it's available for AlmaLinux 8 only.

Thanks

  Hey there!  We decided not to continue to offer this package on newer systems as the main project hasn't been updated in 12 years:

  https://github.com/nmaier/mod_xsendfile

  so our team is dropping support for that, as you've seen.

  I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news but let me know if you need anything else.

  Hi - Thanks for the clarification.

  It looks like we'll need to downgrade to AlmaLinux 8 then. The AlmaLinux site says OS 8 will have security support until 31 May 2029 - does that also apply to cPanel servers or does cPanel have a different security support policy?

  Thanks

  No, we follow the OS support lifecycles as well.  You can find the details here:
