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){target=_blank} 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:
|
||||
|
||||
``` bash linenums="1"
|
||||
git clone https://git.resf.org/testing/repocompare
|
||||
cd repocompare/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Import the RPM GPG keys for both Rocky and RHEL
|
||||
|
||||
``` bash linenums="1"
|
||||
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:
|
||||
|
||||
``` bash linenums="1"
|
||||
./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:
|
||||
|
||||
``` bash linenums="1"
|
||||
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)
|
||||
```
|
||||
