Create a repo URL for "latest" repo versions #1281

Open apertome opened 3 years ago

apertome commented 3 years ago

It would be useful if we had a URL that we could use for people to install the latest version of the perfSONAR repos.

i.e. right now we have yum install http://software.internet2.edu/rpms/el7/x86_64/latest/packages/perfSONAR-repo-0.10-1.noarch.rpm

But this broke on the latest upgrade as the URL was not updated, but the old 0.9 package was removed from the repo. If we could do something like this, it would help:

yum install http://software.internet2.edu/rpms/el7/x86_64/latest/packages/perfSONAR-repo-latest.noarch.rpm

We should be able to achieve this with symlinks, or with an Apache alias, or similar.

from here: http://docs.perfsonar.net/install_centos.html yum install

I can grab this. I think we can just update https://github.com/perfsonar/perfsonar-dev-tools/blob/master/bin/deploy-production-rpms.sh to create a symlink to the latest version of rpm.
