title: 'SOP: Repocompare'
|
||
|
|
---
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This SOP covers how to perform the repocompare process, to ensure that Rocky's package repositories are up-to-date with the RHEL package repositories.
|
||
|
|
|

{% include "contacts_top.md" %}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To identify which packages may need updates, visit the appropriate [RepoCompare](https://repocompare.rockylinux.org) page, focusing on the **SRPM Repo Comparison** page for each version.
|
||
|
|
Packages where the **Rocky** version is **lower** than the **RHEL** version likely require an update - you can do a manual comparison to be sure.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Setup
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
From a **RHEL8 machine with a valid entitlement**, obtain the repocompare repository:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
git clone https://git.resf.org/testing/repocompare
|
||
|
|
cd repocompare/
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Import the RPM GPG keys for both Rocky and RHEL
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
curl -O http://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/RPM-GPG-KEY-Rocky-8
|
||
|
|
curl -O http://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/RPM-GPG-KEY-Rocky-9
|
||
|
|
rpm --import RPM-GPG-KEY-Rocky-8
|
||
|
|
rpm --import RPM-GPG-KEY-Rocky-9
|
||
|
|
rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/redhat-official
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Comparing a package
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If the Name/Epoch/Version/Release (NEVR) for the RHEL package is newer than the one for the Rocky package, the package requires an update. In this situation, there will also likely be a newer entry in the changelog for the RHEL package, as shown below:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
./manual_compare.sh 9 AppStream golang
|
||
|
|
Rocky Linux 9.2 golang 1.19.9 2.el9_2 * Tue May 23 2023 Alejandro Sáez <asm@redhat.com> - 1.19.9-2
|
||
|
|
Red Hat golang 1.19.10 1.el9_2 * Tue Jun 06 2023 David Benoit <dbenoit@redhat.com> - 1.19.10-1
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Notice that the Red Hat golang package has a higher version than the Rocky Linux 9.2 package. It also has a newer entry in its changelog.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Gotchas
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Some packages are not considered relevant for repocompare purposes. These include:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
rhc
|
||
|
|
shim-unsigned
|
||
|
|
# Any package that exists in RHEL but not in Rocky (denoted by **DOES NOT EXIST** in the Rocky column on the repocompare website)
|
