Trafficserver no longer available in EPEL repositories

[louishot]

https://docs.trafficserver.apache.org/en/7.1.x/getting-started/index.en.html#rhel-centos wget https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/e/epel-release-7-5.noarch.rpm sudo rpm -Uvh epel-release-7*.rpm

sudo yum install trafficserver output:

No package trafficserver available.
Error: Nothing to do

Fedora's trafficserver RPM repo links to FESCo issue #2080, which mentions unsuccessful attempts to contact the package's maintainer, @janfrode, followed by a vote to orphan the package.

Either

• The EPEL section should be removed from the Getting Started page, or
• Someone could go to https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/trafficserver and adopt the package.

Any update on how to get an RPM for version 9 or 10?

Thanks!

[zrhoffman]

@jeredfloyd volunteered to maintain the trafficserver EPEL package. His trafficserver 9.1.2 RPM was approved in Red Hat bug 2076374, and he adopted the trafficserver RPM in FESCo issue #10795. Not sure what happens now, but presumably the trafficserver RPM will be in EPEL sometime in the near future.

Thanks @jeredfloyd!

Second the Thanks @jeredfloyd!

[jeredfloyd]

You're welcome! I should have 9.1.2 submitted for review later this week.

Being a bit of an RPM novice, how can I obtain the RPM from this repo?

https://github.com/jeredfloyd/rpm-trafficserver

[jeredfloyd]

You can get builds from my COPR repo here, which should be identical to what will show up in Fedora/EPEL soon: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/jered/trafficserver/

Awesome! Any guidance on best one to use for CentOs 7?

epel-7-x86_64 seems like the correct choice.

[jeredfloyd]

You would use the EPEL 7 repo for CentOS 7.

[jeredfloyd]

ATS 9.1.2 is now in the Fedora and EPEL8 repos, and should land in EPEL7 and EPEL9 shortly: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/?packages=trafficserver

[vgrme]

Thanks @jeredfloyd
When I try to install it, I see the below dependencies are missing and the installation therefore is failing. hwloc-libs-2.2.0-3.el8.x86_64.rpm hwloc-2.2.0-3.el8.x86_64.rpm

[jeredfloyd]

@vgrme Can you tell me a bit more about how you are trying to install it, and on what sort of system? yum/dnf should pull those requirements in from the repo.

[vgrme]

I did yum install trafficserver :-) I just looked up one of the mirrors I dont see those rpms hwloc-libs-2.2.0-3.el8.x86_64.rpm hwloc-2.2.0-3.el8.x86_64.rpm

[jeredfloyd]

Are you on RHEL, CentOS, Rocky, Alma... ?

[vgrme]

RHEL 8.5

[jeredfloyd]

Does the same problem occur on RHEL 8.6?

It does not look like this package has recently changed, however. You can find the package details as part of baseos here: https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/hwloc/2.2.0-3.el8/x86_64/fd431d51/package

[jeredfloyd]

A few other possible things to try:

• Are the codeready-builder repos enabled as needed for EPEL 8? (https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/epel/#_el8)
• Is the repo medata old? Try dnf clean and then yum install trafficserver

[vgrme]

@jeredfloyd I'm getting the below error

Error: Problem: conflicting requests

• nothing provides libhwloc.so.15()(64bit) needed by trafficserver-9.1.2-7.el8.x86_64 (try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)

I can see it - https://centos.pkgs.org/8/centos-baseos-x86_64/hwloc-libs-2.2.0-3.el8.x86_64.rpm.html

[jeredfloyd]

@vgrme That's very strange. Can you give me the results of these commands, in this order?

subscription-manager list
dnf clean
dnf repolist enabled
dnf whatprovides libhwloc.so.15 
dnf whatprovides trafficserver
rpm -qi hwloc-libs
rpm -qi trafficserver
dnf install trafficserver

[jeredfloyd]

Hey @vgrme -- are you still having problems? What are the results of the commands above?

Also note that I've pushed out a new -8 build that makes some changes to OpenSSL usage to support RHEL 9. This shouldn't affect anything about hwloc, though.

[jeredfloyd]

Hi @vgrme -- can you provide the ouput of the commands in https://github.com/apache/trafficserver/issues/6855#issuecomment-1163047602 ? Otherwise I will close as can't reproduce.

[jeredfloyd]

@bryancall - this ticket can be closed.
