Hi all,
how can I install rpms from git.centos.org? I'd like to install and test the realtime-kernel.
It seems to me that https://wiki.centos.org/Sources only means to build srpms.
What I ned is an rt-kernel with headers for further compiling.
There are not packages to test for everything on git.centos.org .. just the things we build. The real time kernel is not in RHEL, though the source code for it is on git.centos.org. Since it is not part of the main RHEL release the CentOS team does not have a build.
You can try to build it yourself, but first you must create the SRPM from the source code on git.centos.org.
You first need to install rpm-build, scl-utils-build, and git (in tis case on a CentOS-7 machine .. need to use the version you want to build for):
yum install rpm-build scl-utils-build git
You can use the tools here to create SRPMS from git.centos.org source code:
https://git.centos.org/summary/centos-git-common.git
You can get the repository url there for cloning.. and do:
git clone https://git.centos.org/git/centos-git-common.git
then in the centos-git-common directory you will see several scripts that you can use to build the SRPMs from source.
then you can get the source code for the package you want to build .. in this case the kernel-rt:
git clone https://git.centos.org/git/rpms/kernel-rt
then go to the kernel-rt directory and checkout the branch and build it:
cd kernel-rt git checkout c7-rt <patch to>/into_srpms.sh
that should download and make the SRPM for you. If you do not want the 'dist' tag for the rpm (currently .el7_2), you can do:
<patch to>/into_srpms.sh -d .el7
That would change the dist tag to .el7 instead of .el7_2
Once you have the SRPM, here are instructions to get binary RPMS:
