Verify / add support for RHEL 9 (and derivatives)
ximon18 opened this issue · comments
Currently Ploutos has some special logic for 7 and 8, we should extend the test suite with a test case for RHEL/CentOS/RockyLinux/AlmaLinux/etc v9.
If os is set to centos:8 or rockylinux:8 in the build rules then it defaults to rockylinux:8 as the LXC test container to use which causes a glibc failure in the "Install the newly built package" test step:
Run case ${OS_NAME} in
+ case ${OS_NAME} in
+ sg lxd -c 'lxc exec testcon -- yum install -y /tmp/mytest-0.1.1-1.x86_64.rpm'
+ tee install.log

NLnetLabs/ploutos-testing#46 shows that changes made in the branch associated with this issue enable creation of RHEL 9 (and derivative) compatible packages can now be created, using Rocky Linux 9 as the build and test environment.
The package publication script will also need updating as it currently doesn't handle packages whose GitHub Actions zip artifact file name contains rockylinux rather than centos, nor does it know in which repo to publish them. The simplest would be to add a centos/9/ repo but that's a bit of a lie.
Why? Well there is no such thing as CentOS 9, there is CentOS 7 and 8 and then after that it became EoL and was replaced by CentOS Stream 9. Rocky Linux isn't technically the same as CentOS Stream 9, but I believe is based on CentOS Stream 9 and is led by a co-founder of CentOS so could be argued to be the true spiritual successor to CentOS.
But we need to publish these packages under some URL... /centos/N was always a handy alias for hopefully-RHEL-compatible, maybe we should just continue using /centos/N even if we build it on Rocky Linux. A quick test of the package built using Rocky Linux 9 shows that it seems to work in a CentOS 9 Stream Docker container:
