centos-nfv-openvswitch package repo

Rocky Linux General
1

I am on Rocky linux version 9.1. I have installed the
centos-nfv-openvswitch package repo. When I tried to install /upgrade
ovn-controller, the latest version I could see was 23.06. But 23.09 is out
and probably not available in this repo. Do we have any package repo to get
the 23.09 version?
Thanks

Hey there -

I am part of the NFV SIG in CentOS which provides these packages. It looks like we have not yet started building any 23.09 packages yet.

I’ll raise this question on the CentOS Devel mailing list.

Best,
Neil

Hi Neil, tentatively, when Can we expect these packages out ?

Hey there - I spoke with the NFV sig, and the situation with OVN is a bit difficult.

Unlike with openvswitch, we don’t have access to pre-released FTP builds, so we have to follow what is published in Index of /pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/9Base/en/Fast-Datapath/SRPMS which doesn’t include ovn23.09 yet.

It sounds like there had been conversations in the past with the OVN maintainers about providing pre-release builds in NFV sig, but that is still a WIP with no timeline right now.

Best,
Neil
