And at the risk of being insistent the same applies to debuginfo, there is no kernel-debuginfo-4.18.0-147.8* on debuginfo.centos.org :(
(This is annoying because just rebuilding doesn't cut it as the build isn't reproductible, so you have to be using the rebuilt rpm everywhere before crashes happen to make any use of kdumps... And dnf doesn't let you reinstall the currently running kernel to make things even more unpleasant...)
Sorry for "spamming", it's been a week and I would appreciate an answer even if it's just a "we're looking at it and it'll come eventually".
Another two weeks passed. Next mail in three weeks? Not quite exponential back-off but centos 8.2 will be out at some point and that will automagically wipe the problem under the rug until updates happen...
Once again I'm not asking do it _now_, but:
- just an ack would be a great start! Are my mails already redirected
to /dev/null?! Saying so would be the polite thing to do as well, I don't like wasting my time that much. and
- can we do something to help with this particular issue?
Thanks and good.. luck?
All the sources are available on git.centos.org. You can create any SRPM from that data. We are designing the build system, including creating modules iwth mbs from scratch for CentOS 8 .. it is going to take some time to automate making every go to the correct place. If the sources did not already exist on git.centos.org, this would be more or a priority.
To get the sources from git.centos.org .. here is an example. I just picked a package, in this case amanda:
https://git.centos.org/rpms/amanda/branches
Click the c8 branch .. there are the sources.
Use these tools dow download the sources: https://git.centos.org/centos-git-common
Specifically .. the tool 'into_srpm.sh' will create an SRPM from the git repo if you have the branch checked out.
So if I use your example and run git clone https://git.centos.org/rpms/amanda.git I get the following:
(vgeppetto3 pts12) $ git clone https://git.centos.org/rpms/amanda.git Cloning into 'amanda'... remote: Counting objects: 90, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (81/81), done. remote: Total 90 (delta 24), reused 0 (delta 0) Unpacking objects: 100% (90/90), done. warning: remote HEAD refers to nonexistent ref, unable to checkout.
Can you please tell me what I am missing? If I try to run the get-sources script that also fails.
