The certificate has expired on https://pkg.ci.collectd.org/

[eamonnsullivan]

• Version of collectd: Any
• Operating system / distribution: Centos 7
• Kernel version (if applicable):

https://pkg.ci.collectd.org/rpm/master/epel-7-x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] curl#60 - "Peer's Certificate has expired."

Expected behavior

I should be able to retrieve the rpm from the repository.

Actual behavior

I get a "certificate has expired" error.

I realise this is almost certainly the wrong place to add an issue, but just hoping to get someone's attention -- ideally, someone who can update the cert.

Thank you for the report. I need to check who could update the certificate.

[jovandeginste]

Any updates?

[mrunge]

nope.

Personally, I am undecided if this is useful for the project, i.e. if we should and can invest time in this. You're not using CI builds in production environments, no?

[jovandeginste]

I'm actually wondering now, where can we find the official RPM releases?

(We are using CentOS)

What do you mean by "official"?

There is centos-release-opstools (builds for the official CentOS OpsTools SIG), which includes builds of collectd, there is also EPEL, which also includes collectd.

For the OpsTools SIG, I have been focused mostly on CentOS 8 and CentOS 9, but there is also a (heavily patched) build based on collectd-5.8 with backports from 5.10 and 5.11.

For more info, see https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/OpsTools and also https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/epel/

I have to dig deep, and apologize for this tangent, but I remember having issues installing from the epel repositories a few (2?) years ago, and then switching to the repo from this thread. Probably those issues are fixed now, so I should try again... Might have been related to the then new CentOS 8

as packages for Ubuntu 22.04 ( Jammy ) are not included into Ubuntu's repo, I was hoping to find it there => found certs issue as well . There are no 22.04 packages there anyways, though.

I do not have the launchpad issue handy where the removal of collectd from ubuntu was tracked. If I understand this correctly, a dependency (liboping) was removed from Debian due to a build failure. That triggered the removal of collectd in Debian. liboping is back though.

I understand the desire to have fresh packages, please file bugs with your vendor. They are the right address.
