                            <comment id="5192170" author="JIRAUSER1269924" created="Mon, 13 Feb 2023 09:50:04 +0000"  >&lt;p&gt;Given that the OS in question is very old and with multiple complexities involved, we have decided not to invest efforts in the C driver build for RHEL 7 for now. The users have the option to build the C driver from source. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Please feel free to comment if the impact increases in future (or if we have more such customer requests).&lt;/p&gt;</comment>

                            <comment id="4875428" author="remi" created="Tue, 4 Oct 2022 05:55:09 +0000"  >&lt;p&gt;libmongoc is not part of RHEL-7 but available in EPEL-7 (community driven repository)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;RHEL-7 is terribly old, and everything there is old, but consistent (libmongoc 1.3.6, pecl/mongodb 1.1.10, PHP 5.4)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;See Updates policy &lt;a href=&quot;https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fesco/Updates_Policy/#stable-releases&quot; class=&quot;external-link&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fesco/Updates_Policy/#stable-releases&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Updating libmongoc will possibly break packages using it, and probably requires other upgrades, and p.e. latest pecl/mongodb is not compatible with old PHP versions&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sorry, but I really think this doesn&apos;t worth the work.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;RHEL-7 is now &amp;gt;8 years old and is close to its EOL in June 2024.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;People wanting modern features should upgrade to modern RHEL-8 or even RHEL-9&lt;/p&gt;</comment>

The latest appears to be 1.3.6: &lt;a href=&quot;https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/mongo-c-driver&quot; class=&quot;external-link&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/mongo-c-driver&lt;/a&gt;. Is that something we can contribute to?&lt;/p&gt;</comment>
