Cvmfs client on centos stream 9

Client
1

Hi,
I attempted to install cvmfs client on centos stream 9. Seems I can not via the rpms. The cvmfs package is not found although I have installed the cvmfs-repo https://ecsft.cern.ch/dist/cvmfs/cvmfs-release/cvmfs-release-latest.noarch.rpm
I might be missing something that has changed in el9 - but I did even “forcefully” enable the repo.

Anyway, I attempted then to build from source.
After installing “Development Tools”, cmake, sqlite and uuid-devel I see:

It might be a matter of wrong links in the cmake setup, as I see:

Any tips on how to move forward?

Hi Maiken,

Thanks for your message.

CentOS Stream 9 is a newly added platform, maybe there is an issue in the cvmfs-release package. We will look into it. Meanwhile, you could try installing the CentOS Stream 9 RPMs directly (here is the link to CVMFS 2.9.3 which is in testing and will be released in the coming days):

https://ecsft.cern.ch/dist/cvmfs/cvmfs-2.9.3/

That’s a strange compilation error. Here are all the packages we install in our CS9 build container image:

RUN         dnf -y update
RUN         dnf -y install filesystem
RUN         dnf -y install dnf-utils && dnf config-manager --set-enabled crb
RUN         dnf -y install epel-release
RUN         dnf -y install                     \

I hope this helps!

Thank you very much.

Which of the rpm’s in Index of /dist/cvmfs/cvmfs-2.9.3 provide cvmfs-config?

Last metadata expiration check: 1:19:36 ago on Tue 14 Jun 2022 07:32:28 AM CEST.
Error: 
 Problem: conflicting requests
  - nothing provides cvmfs-config needed by cvmfs-2.9.3-1.el9.x86_64
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)

Thanks for the list of dependencies. That fixed at least the installation from source. :slight_smile:

You can install this config package (the version numbers aren’t the same):
https://ecsft.cern.ch/dist/cvmfs/cvmfs-config/cvmfs-config-default-2.0-2.noarch.rpm

To follow up, the cvmfs-config-default package is now available in the Yum repo for cvmfs-testing on CentOS Stream 9. It will also be available in the production cvmfs Yum repo once 2.9.3 is promoted from testing (should happen this week).

Cheers,
Radu
