Spec files for EL8/9
willfurnell opened this issue · 9 comments
Hello,
As far as I can see through various discussions -
https://community.icinga.com/t/package-support-for-almalinux-8-rockylinux-8/9864
https://community.icinga.com/t/icinga-repository-for-suse-not-up-to-date/9696
https://community.icinga.com/t/how-to-build-your-own-icingaweb2-packages-for-centos-8-as-the-security-fix-was-not-released-for-it/9390
you do not provide packages for CentOS/Alma/Rocky etc. versions 8 and 9, and that if we want to use these OS' we need to build these packages ourselves. However, I am unable to find the EL8 .spec file you are using for building EL8 packages currently. Please could you provide the spec file we should be using for building our own EL8/EL9 packages,
Thanks,
Will.
Hi,
Packages for enterprise distributions like RHEL are available via subscription.
All the best,
Eric
@lippserd I'm aware about the packages, but I'm not asking about those. I'm asking about the .spec files to build the packages myself. Thanks.

I'm toying with the idea to publish packages for non-enterprise EL8 (and in future 9) distributions which are currently not covered.

Any progress? Help needed?
Maybe hosting packages on GitHub.io is possible too: https://github.com/cpriest/repo/tree/gh-pages
I have docker files for icinga2 for rockylinux 8 and 9 ready, icingaweb2 pending and I have tested those on my own systems and seem to be working.
Little polishing and I'll make the github repo public, I'm also thinking about public RPM repo (currently running private repo).
Love to see community EL 8/9 support coming back to life.
Interestingly they are no longer publishing ANY spec files publicly - https://git.icinga.com/packaging/rpm-icinga2/-/raw/master/icinga2.spec is now in a read-only repository...
So you have to Pay an unknown amount of money for an Icinga-RHEL subscription, without the underlying RHEL OS. Or migrate to Ubuntu or Debian in the hope, that the support will continue there
