Rocky Linux 9¶

IGWN Software support for Enterprise Linux 9 is provided via packages built against the Rocky Linux 9 base operating system.

Configuring dnf¶

The IGWN-Production RPM Repository¶

To configure dnf to see the IGWN-Production RPM Repository:

1. Download the configuration RPM for the IGWN-Production Repository

   curl -LO https://software.igwn.org/lscsoft/rocky/9/production/x86_64/os/Packages/i/igwn-production-config-9-5.el9.noarch.rpm
   

2. Validate the file using the checksum

   echo "238048a810c92469999834634b131df3 igwn-production-config-9-5.el9.noarch.rpm" | md5sum -c -
   

3. Install the RPM:

   rpm --install igwn-production-config-9-5.el9.noarch.rpm
   

4. Clear the yum cache and initialise the repository:

   dnf clean all
   dnf makecache
   

The system should now be configured to track the LSCSoft Production repository.

Other IGWN RPM Repositories¶

CompSoft hosts other RPM repositories beyond the Production repo:

Once the IGWN-Production RPM Repository has been configured, to install one of these other repositories, install the <repo>-config RPM, e.g. for igwn-testing:

dnf install igwn-testing-config

Contributing software¶

To contribute software to the IGWN RPM Repositories:

1. Upload a source distribution to a supported archive

2. Open an IGWN Software Change Request ensuring that the Rocky Linux 9 distribution checkbox is filled.
