Heya,
Thanks very much for getting back to me with my query, I've not dealt much with
package management in this manner prior, however it's because I've never ran in
to an issue like this myself in the past either just being a user of CentOS and
updating.
So I do apologise for this, but everything in the past has worked flawlessly
and I've never needed to bother, if you understand me correctly.. "Dont fix it,
if it ain't broken" metaphorically speaking..
Did you have packages which were updated and you were not aware it would happen?
-Yes kind of, I knew they would be updated, but I did not realise they would
cause so much further issues.
Did you have packages which were not updated but you need them to be?
-No.
Did you have packages which installed which are broken?
-No
-However this issue is quite a spread one, APACHE Guacamole does require the
freeRDP-1x versions in order to enable the utilisation of RDP connections, so
APACHE guacamole needs an update too because FreeRDP version 2x has had such a
change around they are still catching up developing ways and means of utilizing
version 2x of FreeRDP.
For this reason, I never even wanted to update to CentOS8 yet, but over the
last month after doing an recompile and test VM install of Apache guacamole and
then 'yum update' that rather then the FreeRDP 1x versions being used 2x has
been placed within the packages which leaves me without the use of RDP. VNC,
SSH connections are fine within APACHE guacamole.
I traced it back to noticing that version 2 is now being used, so resorted to
using my initial .iso as my yum package repository but am being left without
freerdp-plugins-1.0.2. Because it's not listed within the install .iso repo
(only freerdp, -devel, -libs)
These are the updated versions being used after an yim update is initiated,
which I assume would happen but was not prepared for the following issues
rising from, doing said update.
freerdp-2.0.0-1.rc4.el7.x86_64.rpm2019-08-22 21:2497K
freerdp-devel-2.0.0-1.rc4.el7.i686.rpm2019-08-22 21:47125K
freerdp-devel-2.0.0-1.rc4.el7.x86_64.rpm2019-08-22 21:24125K
freerdp-libs-2.0.0-1.rc4.el7.i686.rpm2019-08-22 21:47735K
freerdp-libs-2.0.0-1.rc4.el7.x86_64.rpm
Would it be feasible to place within the EPEL7 repository the:
FreeRDP-1.0.2.rc4.el7.i686.rpm
FreeRDP-1.0.2.rc4.el7.x86_64.rpm,
FreeRDP-devel-1.0.2.rc4.el7.i686.rpm
FreeRDP-devel-1.0.2.rc4.el7.x86_64.rpm
FreeRDP-libs-1.0.2.rc4.el7.i686.rpm
FreeRDP-libs-1.0.2.rc4.el7.x86_64.rpm
FreeRDP-plugins-1.0.2.rc4.el7.i686.rpm
FreeRDP-plugins-1.0.2.rc4.el7.x86_64.rpm
And then rename them too:
FreeRDP1-1.0.2.rc4.el7.i686.rpm
FreeRDP1-1.0.2.rc4.el7.x86_64.rpm,
FreeRDP1-devel-1.0.2.rc4.el7.i686.rpm
FreeRDP1-devel-1.0.2.rc4.el7.x86_64.rpm
FreeRDP1-libs-1.0.2.rc4.el7.i686.rpm
FreeRDP1-libs-1.0.2.rc4.el7.x86_64.rpm
FreeRDP1-plugins-1.0.2.rc4.el7.x86_64.rpm
FreeRDP1-plugins-1.0.2.rc4.el7.x86_64.rpm
Which hopefully will allow future choice and further usability, afterall EPEL
stands for Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux, I'd be happy to maintain them
to the best if my ability in order to contribute towards the community and I'm
sure it would assist many other facing my current issue which they have yet to
run in to possibly.
I've also noticed that the FreeRDP packages themselves are not directly
installed by the EPEL, infact they reside on the .iso issued by the CentOS
commumity and I should have spoken to them first rather then EPEL community
directly, it was an base assumption they came from you guys after my initial
yum update from a bare basic minimal install after inserting EPEL into my repo
list.
-Can the FreeRDP version 1x rpm's listed above be placed within the EPEL repo
and rather then just be called FreeRDP > FreeRDP1- to represent an older
version that user may call upon if needed. I'm just trying now to meet a global
solution that's viable for people to utilise without forking, or creating
further issues.
Kind regards,
Darren Wise
