Trying to add PHP 8.3.6 RPMs to my local repo using

Rocky Linux General
1

I’ve cobbled together the PHP 8.3.6 RPMs I need for my kickstart installation from Remi using dnf --downloadonly, but as I’m learning, these are modular RPMs and using my createrepo command:

createrepo -u “http://172.31.255.5/ks” -g /var/www/html/ks/build/rocky9-PHP8.3.xml /var/www/html/ks

is apparently not including the metadata for the modular PHP 8.3 Remi rpms I’ve added. I’d really like the build to include all the packages required and not have to pull them from remi each time.

Here is the anaconda log error:

I installed PHP from the module for 8.3.6 on my build server and located the modules yaml file in my dnf cache and then ran the following:

modifyrepo_c --mdtype=module /home/nunya/remi/1c0c71b62fb87dd4bbafd08f78f841f5816a73f217e3bb0789c5d4383b90d06c-modules.yaml /var/www/html/ks/repodata

createrepo_c --update -g /var/www/html/ks/build/rocky9-PHP8.3.xml /var/www/html/ks

It built without errors and introduced the modules.yaml.bz2 into my repodata folder, but it still failed… :frowning:

I went into the shell of the system and noticed it only pulled the following:

-rw-r–r–. 1 root root 1345826 Apr 25 20:31 42d33362a3cf3786264edc286f0ddfd4d3f68629bd7462eaa6f325d9c46db0f4-primary.xml.gz

Do I need to include something in my comps file to include module metadata for those packages?

To generate a proper modular repository, you need to provide the modules.yaml content to modifyrepo_c command.

You also need to run modifyrepo_c AFTER createrepo_c

Have you tried to ignore modularity and it use as a flat repo with the module_hotfixes=1 option ?

I was able to get it to build with the modules.yaml retrieved from cache after running:

createrepo --update -u “http://172.31.255.5/ks” -g /var/www/html/ks/build/rocky9-PHP8.3.xml /var/www/html/ks
