RHEL 8 build behaves badly #394

Closed davidpablocohn closed 1 month ago

  1. "A final update on the issue I had with the version of python installed. Because of Red Hat’s infinite wisdom, the only development library (python-devel) they provide in their packages is 3.6. My solution was to build python from source the same way is done for the RHEL 7 version in the script, and everything worked out on the install. I still have plenty of testing to do, as well as checking if selinux or fapolicyd will interfere, but it’s looking promising so far."

  2. "First one I’ve noticed that the install script installs epel-release. In the USAP we have a managed version of that repository, and when it installs that repository we get an additional EPEL that causes issues. My workaround was just to comment out the line that installs epel-release, but I think a better solution overall would be to check if there are any already installed repos that match EPEL before installing epel-release."

  3. "Third issue is when having openrvdas generate a certificate, it prompts “where to create the certificate”. This reads as if it’s asking for a directory, but later on in the script it becomes clear that it needed a full filename path including the filename. Perhaps rewording this would help avoid ambiguity."

Problems 2 and 3 above are currently fixed in branch openrvdas\issue_394. Haven't been able to reproduce 1, so waiting on clarification before proceeding.
