Hi all, I am trying cockpit on CentOS 7. 1. Cockpit-system v176 install subscription-manager by default. This is very annoying on CentOS as I do not have a subscription and do not want one. 2. Cockpit-system v176 has cockpit-sosreport rolled into it. However, the rpm does not have the sos package required as it should do. Who makes the packages for the "extras" repo? Is there a better place to report these issues?The packages in question come from this source code:
https://git.centos.org/summary/rpms!cockpit
The original sources are in rhel-7-extras
We have to de-brand / modify the packages, here are the commits for that:
https://git.centos.org/log/rpms!cockpit.git/c7-extras
If you look at the actual commit for the debranding, I added in the step that normally gets rid of subscriptions .. (line 42 of the commit):
https://git.centos.org/commitdiff/rpms!cockpit.git/fc6cf2b2c9befc6fea436bc8c...
Now we need to figure out WHY the require for subscription-manager is still there.
Let the troubleshooting begin :)
This link is the actual spec used: https://git.centos.org/blob/rpms!cockpit.git/c7-extras/SPECS!cockpit.spec
hmm .. looks to me like cockpit-system should NOT require subscription-manager .. but it does :(
OK, we figured out that part .. they used %define build_subscriptions 1 and they used to test the VALUE of that .. but now they just look at %if %{defined} .. so a 1 or a 0 will both ne true. SO .. I will have to make a change to test the value or %undefine that variable now.
WRT sosreport .. are we sure that our modifed sosreport will work with cockpit (have you used it in the past)? We heavily mod sosreport to not use subscription pieces and point to bugs.centos.org.
