hello – i have been successfully able to install Webmin/Virtualmin on a new RL-10.0 by first doing the following: echo ‘10.0’ > /etc/dnf/vars/releasever ; ## should this be removed afterward? dnf -y install cyrus-sasl cyrus-sasl-devel ; ## webmin had trouble with this dnf clean packages…

The file “epel.repo” is in “/etc/yum.repos.d” directory.

[image] UW_Linux: The file “epel.repo” is in “/etc/yum.repos.d” directory. thank you. i see i need to first do: dnf -y install epel-release ; i have never edited a epel.repo file before. i am assuming i just change any occurences as follows: $releasever_major => 10 ${release…

I think it’s better to change “$releasever” to 10.1 and delete “-z”.

thank you. and please note that i need to stick with 10.0 for now. what i was trying to do was to duplicate somehow whatever the shortcodes were doing with the hard-coded values. and i had no idea really how to convert ${releasever_minor:±z}except to just substitute it with 0-z here is a diff ex…

Sorry, I use a specified baseurl on my computer, not metalink. For metalink, it seems the URL “https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-z-10.0&arch=x86_64“ is the only valid one if you need to stick with 10.0.

Much easier is to create a file /etc/dnf/vars/releasever and then in this file put 10.0 or 10.1. Then there is no need to edit the epel.repo file. However, it does mean all repo files that use the $releasever variable will use that value.

[image] edwardsmarkf: EDIT: i played with it a bit. Try: https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=epel-z-10.0&arch=x86_64 and: https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=epel-10.0&arch=x86_64 I presume that the mirrorlist uses same set of repo-ids as the metalink. However, …

[image] iwalker: Much easier is to create a file /etc/dnf/vars/releasever and then in this file put 10.0 or 10.1. this certainly appears to be true. but for whatever reason, there appears to be a debate that has religious overtones for how strongly some people are against it. rumor has it …

[image] edwardsmarkf: rumor has it that whatever the epel problem was is now fixed so this post is now unnecessary.. i am testing it now. Yes, because Rocky 10.1 was released today and that is why the problems went away.

Personally, I prefer to use cockpit.
