Release Repositories and Expanded Prebuilt RPMs #131

Closed nlvw closed 2 years ago

nlvw commented 2 years ago

Hi All, First of all great work and I hope Nvidia continues to invest in this.

Are there any plans on provided release RPMs as part of a repository to make enroot easier to consume? The libnvidia-container repo (https://nvidia.github.io/libnvidia-container/) seems to be a good example on how to do this with just GitHub. An official Spack package recipe would also work though I'm not sure the caps functionality would work from that install method.

If not are the current el7 RPMs compatible with RHEL 8 (or clones)? For newer RHEL (8/9) will I need to build enroot from source instead?

We don't currently plan on making a repository for enroot. Regarding the RPMs, yes the el7 should work on every RHEL based distribution, enroot is statically linked and doesn't depend on any specific userspace aside from standard utilities.
