Hello,
We’ve always been able to install Storage SIG built Ceph packages without using EPEL9 but
when we are testing with the Reef release it looks like we need a newer libarrow that hasn’t
been rebuild in Storage SIG since newer thrift 0.15 was introduced.
Up until ceph-quincy or so on el8s and el9s epel was not used because CBS did not allow external repos like EPEL to be used.
When external repos like EPEL were added I switched from using dependencies built in CBS, including (lib)arrow and parquet-libs, to using the EPEL versions. Looks like I didn't get ceph-18.2.7 completely untangled.
I just respun ceph-18.2.7 using only EPEL for dependencies. Everything I tried, including librgw2, installs on my Stream9 box.
The new build is on some mirrors already, ymmv.
