Szabolcs Béki commented on AMBARI-25683:
----------------------------------------

Just read the through the [Custom Stack Docs|  https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/AMBARI/Defining+a+Custom+Stack+and+Services] and it seems quite valid still.

Can we say that it's just fine, or should we make real example stack definition based this doc ?

> Long time no release. It's time change that. :)
> This task is created to encompass all the activities needed to release [Ambari 2.7.6|https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/AMBARI/versions/12346843]. 
> [branch-2.7|https://github.com/apache/ambari/tree/branch-2.7]  includes some important vulnerability fixes and also has fixes to make Ambari decoupled from HDP. This became necessary as all versions of HDP repositories are pushed [behind paywall|https://www.cloudera.com/downloads/paywall-expansion.html], making this and all previous Ambari versions unusable for typical users in their current form.
> The proposal is to release Ambari after testing and documentation updates,  *as is*. 
> Uses cases for Ambari 2.7.6 : 
>  * Users having local HDP 3.1.x repositories can continue using it with Ambari 2.7.6
>  * Users having their [custom services and stack definition|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/AMBARI/Defining+a+Custom+Stack+and+Services]
>  * Users using Ambari indirectly inside other distributions like in [BigTop|https://bigtop.apache.org/]
