is duplicated by MDEV-25805 support Rocky Linux in mariadb_repo_s... Closed

 Description   

So basically, people have been flagging up with us that currently there are some scripts used in the installation/upgrade process for the latest MariaDB versions that break on Rocky Linux, because there are checks for only CentOS or RHEL in some scripts. They check `/etc/redhat-release` I believe. Rocky Linux, being binary compatible with RHEL, just needs to be added to the list of distros that this check permits.

If this could be done (or at least if someone could advise us with regards to doing it ourselves), that would be great!

What some scripts do you have in mind?

Comment by Hayden Young [ 2021-06-06 ]

The script I've seen personally is mariadb_repo_setup, if memory serves. I reference scripts plural because I'm unsure whether other scripts might be affected in this.

Okay. Then I'm closing it as a duplicate of MDEV-25805. If there will be any more affected scripts, we can reopen it again.
