The current process has a number of things which are not ideal and should be fixed:

  • [x] The RHEL support should be in the Tools.gmk file alongside CentOS, Fedora and Oracle Linux. If it can pull from the default location from yum reinstall --downloadonly to source the rpms (since the yum command requires root access even to only perform the download)
  • [ ] Is the current process for distributing the devkit (Manually copying it onto the machine that runs rhel7_docker_image_updater in /usr/local) the best approach? Probably not ...
  • [ ] Verify the tarball before installing it
  • [ ] Adjust podman use to have --userns=keep-id for the bind volume mapping in the future Comment ref

Note:

  • Installing yum-utils allows you to run the downloads as non-root with yumdownloader --destdir=$HOME/rpms diffutils etc.
