/etc/yum.repos.d/percona* files still use http on RHEL8 and RHEL9

[prime-minister-of-fun]

Following these instructions: https://docs.percona.com/postgresql/15/yum.html#procedure After this step, sudo yum install https://repo.percona.com/yum/percona-release-latest.noarch.rpm The percona repos are installed to /etc/yum.repos.d/percona* All of the repos use http urls. Dnf/yum/whatever doesn't support http.

I do this to keep going: sed -i "s/http\:/https\:/g" /etc/yum.repos.d/percona*

steps to reproduce: curl https://repo.percona.com/yum/percona-release-latest.noarch.rpm -o /root/yum-percona-release-latest-noarch.rpm

rpm -i /root/yum-percona-release-latest-noarch.rpm

Successful: "The percona-release package now contains a percona-release script that can enable additional repositories ..."

Let's keep going... percona-release setup ppg15.8 Error: Failed to download metadata for repo 'prel-release-noarch': Cannot download repomd.xml: Cannot download repodata/repomd.xml: All mirrors were tried Errors during downloading metadata for repository 'prel-release-noarch':

• Status code: 503 for http://repo.percona.com/prel/yum/release/9/RPMS/noarch/repodata/repomd.xml (IP: 147.135.54.159) Error: Failed to download metadata for repo 'prel-release-noarch': Cannot download repomd.xml: Cannot download repodata/repomd.xml: All mirrors were tried
  • Enabling the Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL 158 repository

Sed command from first post fixes it. re-run percona-release setup ppg15.8 Success. I have to run this again because the newly enabled repo is still http. sed -i "s/http\:/https\:/g" /etc/yum.repos.d/percona*
