RPM Support

Would love to see this! We run a bunch of CentOS servers.

Can anyone from Inedo reply please?

Thanks!

I guess no one at Inedo is monitoring this thread...

Ahhhh so sorry, this thread isn't being tracked on our internal dashboard for some reason, so we didn't get notice about it :/

The development got bumped to Q1 of next year (it was originally planned for last month), but we're still very positive about doing it! The rough plan is to follow a similar process as we are with R/Cran -- so please stay tuned :)

@atripp Thanks for the update! I was getting concerned that this was being dropped. Glad to hear it's still in the pipeline :)

With Q1 approaching, I'm taking ownership of this and I've already finished a lot of the preliminary research. Provided we have some folks willing to test a few prerelease builds for us, I think we can start implementation right away in January.

@scusson_9923 - Since you've already done some testing with this and asset directories, I figure you'd be interested in this :)

If anyone else would be interested in trying this out, just post another reply and we'll connect in January.

Thanks!

@gdivis Sure thing. Just let me know when something is available for me to test.

Will very likely work without having to wget it first:
rpm -ihv http://<ProGetServer>/endpoints/RPMTest/content/apacheds-2.0.0.AM25-x86_64.rpm

On Centos/RHEL/Fedora the easiest way to setup a rpm repo is to just place all rpm files on a file server and run createrepo . from the top level directory to create all the meta.

And update your /etc/yum.repo.d/fedora.repo file to point at your file server.

It would be useful to see Proget support rpm version management as well as pacman version management.

I could test something... Let me know.

Hi @markcodyre_7146 - we now have a prerelease version of ProGet available with support for RPM feeds. It is currently lacking support for connectors, replication, and GPG keys but otherwise is ready for testing if you'd like. It’s available now via InedoHub as ProGet 5.2.25-redline.1.

@gdivis Thanks! Can't wait to try it.

FYI; this has been released already as a main feed type, no longer a pre-release :)

I'm going to lock the thread from here to make it easier to submit new issues if anyone has them
