RHEL 8+ is unsupported #172

Open asdffdsdaf opened 2 years ago

asdffdsdaf commented 2 years ago

Installation script does not work with Red Hat Enterprise Linux of version 8 and above (current 8.5) because of OBS not set up for any above 7, current workaround is to use CentOS 8 package

RHEL 8 support is missing from OBS (see https://github.com/openSUSE/open-build-service/issues/10944). So I don't think there's much we can do about that.

The most I could think of would be to consider adding a special rule to the installer script that automatically selects a fitting replacement repository if you're on RHEL 8. You can do that manually by specifying the DISTRO_REPO env variable.

I want to look into that

And when RHEL 9 will be released due to stopped maintenance of CentOS this way won't work either
