Issues of repository URLs for RHEL 8 / CentOS 8

Community Forums

Hello,

I report issues about Kaltura CE repositories for RHEL 8 / CentOs 8.

Today, “latest” in YUM repository file referes version 16.14.0.
In this version, “kaltura-base” requires “/usr/bin/python”.
But, correct python package is not defined in the repository.

In the RHEL 8 and CentOS 8, python 2 and 3 packages provide “/usr/bin/python2” and “/usr/bin/python3”.

I seem that this issue is resolved in later versions.
But, repositories of recent versions are missing some packages.

For example, in version 17.20.0, kaltura.repo file referes the following URLs.

https://installrepo.kaltura.org/releases/17.20.0/8/RPMS/noarch/
https://installrepo.kaltura.org/releases/17.20.0/8/RPMS/x86_64/

But, “kaltura-pentaho” and “kaltura-sshpass” are not stored in these URLs.
YUM and DNF commands in RHEL (or CentOS) cannot find these packages.
So, we installed these packages from other URL by using RPM command.

I think that version 18.x.0 repositories have the same problem.

Regards,

Hello @t-saito ,
I’ve been trying to cheat using create-fake-rpm but made no progress. I’l see if I make progress and let you know.

From my testing, once the requirements are met, it should work.

Hello,

I managed to continue using this trick (Rocky 8.x):

dnf install python2
alternatives --set python /usr/bin/python2
yum install create-fake-rpm
create-fake-rpm --build python-kaltura “/usr/bin/python”
dnf install fake-python-kaltura-0-0.noarch.rpm

Now the process continues but ffmpeg is complaining… :slight_smile:
