| Summary | 0000082: almalinux.repo contains all repos - not RHEL behavior | ||||
| Description | /etc/yum.repos.d contains "almalinux.repo" which has all repos in it. Normal behavior is to have a .repo file per repository. This causes trouble with CF systems that assume RHEL structure. | ||||

Hello. Actually RHEL has only one repo file: /etc/yum.repos.d/redhat.repo, so AlmaLinux follows that behavior. Separate files for every repo is CentOS behavior. Could you provide more information about troubles with CF systems? |

You are absolutely right, that is my mistake. Furthermore, it turns out that the issue I am facing is not even due to repos being defined in one file rather than multiple files. It is because of different casing. The RHEL repo in question is called codeready-builder-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms - CentOS calls it PowerTools. AlmaLinux decided to call it powertools. Same name as CentOS, but different casing. In this particular case I use Puppet for enabling the repo: yumrepo { 'PowerTools': enabled => '1', } This works on CentOS, and Puppet will actually also work with the combined repo-file - however, for AlmaLinux the name of the repo is "powertools" and not "PowerTools". |
|
|
So my request would be to ask if powertools can be named into PowerTools, so that existing configuration management for CentOS will continue working after converting to AlmaLinux. |

Here is CentOS 8.3 PowerTools repo file. As you can see they use powertools repo id, not PowerTools. Maybe there is a some code in Puppet that allows any casing for CentOS? Anyway could you please try: yumrepo { 'powertools': enabled => '1', } On both CentOS and AlmaLinux? sh-4.4# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Linux-PowerTools.repo # CentOS-Linux-PowerTools.repo # # The mirrorlist system uses the connecting IP address of the client and the # update status of each mirror to pick current mirrors that are geographically # close to the client. You should use this for CentOS updates unless you are # manually picking other mirrors. # # If the mirrorlist does not work for you, you can try the commented out # baseurl line instead. [powertools] name=CentOS Linux $releasever - PowerTools mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=PowerTools&infra=$infra #baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/$contentdir/$releasever/PowerTools/$basearch/os/ gpgcheck=1 enabled=0 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-centosofficial |

Confusing. I did some more digging around, because I was 100% sure that it used to work with "PowerTools" - and it did. I developed the Puppet module on C8 and it was tested many times at the time. (And now it is time to put it into production, so I installed Alma.) It seems that CentOS changed from "PowerTools" to "powertools" when they went from "CentOS-PowerTools.repo" to "CentOS-Linux-PowerTools.repo" in the centos-repos package.. when preparing for Stream, I assume. They added: https://git.centos.org/rpms/centos-repos/blob/b759b17557/f/SOURCES/CentOS-Linux-PowerTools.repo They removed: https://git.centos.org/rpms/centos-repos/blob/161103ecd49ed74be1603f7f2d731f4f1712b748/f/SOURCES/CentOS-PowerTools.repo In this commit: https://git.centos.org/rpms/centos-repos/c/b759b17557 I will change to "powertools" instead, as it should work on both c8 and alma, if they are up to date. |

Is "powertools" works fine now? |
|
|
Yes. Issue can be closed. |
