https://ceph.io/en/news/blog/2024/v17-2-8-quincy-released/ Users should expect to see the el8 rpm subdirectory empty and the "dnf" commands are expected to fail with 17.2.8. They can choose to use 17.2.8 RPM packages for centos 8/el8 provided by CERN as a community member or continue to stay at 17.2.7 following instructions from https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/install/get-packages/#rhel, the ceph.repo file should point to https://download.ceph.com/rpm-17.2.7/el8 instead of https://download.ceph.com/rpm-quincy/el8 These CERN packages come with no warranty and have not been tested. The software in them has been tested by Ceph according to platforms <https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/start/os-recommendations/#platforms>. The repository for el8 builds is hosted by CERN on Linux@CERN <https://linuxsoft.cern.ch/repos/ceph-ext-quincy8el-stable/>. The public part of the GPG key used to sign the packages is available at RPM-GPG-KEY-Ceph-Community <https://linuxsoft.cern.ch/repos/RPM-GPG-KEY-Ceph-Community>. Honestly, EL8 is EOL, you would do well to migrate to a newer OS.

Hi, I need to install ceph-common from the Quincy repository, but I'm getting this error: --- Ceph x86_64 0.0 B/s | 0 B 00:01 Errors during downloading metadata for repository 'Ceph': - Status code: 404 for http://download.ceph.com/rpm-quincy/el8/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml (IP: 172.16.110.219) Error: Failed to download metadata for repo 'Ceph': Cannot download repomd.xml: Cannot download repodata/repomd.xml: All mirrors were tried

I think the Ceph Quincy repository might have been removed or is no longer functional. Is that the case? And how can I still use the Ceph Quincy repository for EL8 if possible? _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list -- ceph-users@ceph.io To unsubscribe send an email to ceph-users-leave@ceph.io
