Release .spec file missing Clauses for Fedora?

[David Busby]

This page: http://www.percona.com/doc/percona-server/5.5/installation.html

Notes: "Percona provides repositories for yum (RPM packages for Red Hat, CentOS, Amazon Linux AMI, and Fedora) and apt (.deb packages for Ubuntu and Debian)"

Installation via: `rpm -Uvh http://www.percona.com/downloads/percona-release/percona-release-0.0-1.x86_64.rpm`

Leads to:

"""
http://repo.percona.com/centos/17/os/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404 - Not Found : http://repo.percona.com/centos/17/os/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml
Trying other mirror.
Error: failure: repodata/repomd.xml from percona: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.
"""

As such I would assume the rpm .spec file is missing clauses to handel fedora and el separately?

Can you try pointing the base_url in etc/yum.repos.d/Percona.repo to centos/latest/os instead of centos/$releasever/os?

[David Busby (d-busby)]

[10:14am] tlonim: oneiroi: ok.. seems it is because /etc/yum.repos.d/Percona.repo points to centos/6/os/
[10:14am] tlonim: I guess it will be better to point it to centos/latest/os
[10:17am] oneiroi: tlonim: assuming those packages work with Fedora at least, will try hardcoding that now
[10:19am] oneiroi: tlonim: http://repo.percona.com/centos/latest/os/$basearch/ does indeed appear functional
[10:21am] oneiroi: attempting installation now will update bug shortly with findings

Per discussion with tlonim @ #percona the following repo url: http://repo.percona.com/centos/latest/os/$basearch/ appears functional, I am at this time running an installation via yum and will update with results shortly.

That said a change to centos/latest could only occur for el6 / fedora, and not el5

[Raghavendra D Prabhu (raghavendra-prabhu)]

@David,

Yes, using centos/latest will help for el6 case but not for el5.
I guess the solution will be to add sections like [fedora], [latest], [el6], [el5] with [latest] enabled by default.

Just hit this bug when trying to install Percona-Server-server-55 on Fedora 17 by following the instructions from http://www.percona.com/docs/wiki/percona-server:release:start#percona_yum_repository.

 If installing on Fedora is officially unsupported, let's remove it from http://www.percona.com/software/repositories ?

[David Busby (d-busby)]

Installing on Fedora works (I can personally vouch for 17 and 18); and often el users workstation OS of choice is going to be Fedora. (Fedora often contains features destined for RHEL)

esp as we're working on getting some components into EPEL I'd suggest not dropping support for Fedora as imo it's a step in the wrong direction.

[Ignacio Nin (ignacio-nin)]

Hello,

While installing on Fedora can work, neither are our packages tested for Fedora at the time nor our repository prepared to handle Fedora as shown by this error. This was the cause it was removed from the list at http://www.percona.com/doc/percona-server/5.5/installation.html, however it seems we missed removing it from http://www.percona.com/software/repositories.

We should de-list it from there at least until we build specific packages for the platform and we prepare our repositories for it, *if* we decide to support it.

[Laurynas Biveinis (laurynas-biveinis)]

It seems that all the website links mentioned in this report have been fixed not to list Fedora. Let's keep this bug as a Wishlist bug to add proper Fedora support back?
