Please provide repository RPM in repositories

Open shdwchn10 opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Hello! Can you please provide repository package in RPM repositories like RPMFusion and many other RPM Repositories does? This will help to get updates for the repo configuration and will also help Fedora Silverblue and Kinoite users doing the uninstall-install trick.

It's already in an RPM repository: https://protonvpn.com/support/official-linux-vpn-fedora/ https://protonvpn.com/download/protonvpn-stable-release-1.0.1-1.noarch.rpm

The repository itself (for Fedora):

#
# ProtonVPN stable release
#
[protonvpn-fedora-stable]
name = ProtonVPN Fedora Stable repository
baseurl = https://repo.protonvpn.com/fedora-$releasever-stable
enabled = 1
gpgcheck = 1
repo_gpgcheck=1
gpgkey = https://repo.protonvpn.com/fedora-$releasever-stable/public_key.asc

Adding it to RPM fusion would not add any benefits except mirroring. Simply enable the above repository and you're done.

You misunderstood what I was trying to say. If you visit https://repo.protonvpn.com/fedora-36-stable/, you will see that the repository package (protonvpn-stable-release-1.0.1-1.noarch.rpm) is missing from the ProtonVPN repository itself.

This causes problems when upgrading Silverblue/Kinoite to the next version with the ProtonVPN repo package installed. Now you need to remove the repo package, but save the repo file to fix the Silverblue upgrade. The repo rpm in the ProtonVPN repo will allow users to do the uninstall-install trick (linked above), which is easier than the current situation.
