Repository for RPM builds?

Open chkpnt opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

Maybe I just didn't find the information on the internet: Do you provide a repository for your RPMs as well (like Temurin)? The manual installation as described in your wiki for the RPM-distributions doesn't feel sustainable in terms of maintenance. For Debian, you are referring to http://dist.sapmachine.io/debian/, but as the directory listing isn't enabled: Is there also a directory for openSUSE / SLES?

Sorry, I don't see such a location where you have a directory listing and see all our artefacts with download links. One thing you could do is to lookup the links to our artefacts from pages like https://github.com/SAP/SapMachine/releases/sapmachine-11.0.20 .

There are also browsable maven repos ... but they don't contain rpms but just tgz. See here: https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/io/sapmachine/sapmachine-jdk/. From here you could detect which artefacts and new releases exist und build a download link for rpm's. I admit: that's all complicated.

Downloading a single rpm isn't the problem. It's about having an rpm repository, which can be added to rpm-based Linux distributions via yum / zypper.

ok, got it. At least as far as I know we don't have that.

We don't have an rpm repository but we should probably create one. We'll keep this issue open to track this.
