Unable to install or update rpm's on armhfp/aarch64 with 7.7.1908

[markVnl]

Centos 7.7.1908 armhfp repositories have an extra gpg key as can be seen in the Centos-Base.repo (truncated):

# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo

# CentOS-Base.repo
...
...
[base]
name=CentOS-$releasever - Base
mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=os&infra=$infra
#baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/$releasever/os/$basearch/
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-7
       file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-SIG-AltArch-Arm32

Note the additional RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-SIG-AltArch-Arm32 which is absent in the (expanded) /etc/yum.repos.d/NethServer.repo

Possible solutions:

1. distribute arch depended nethserver-release packages
2. expand /etc/yum.repos.d/NethServer.repo with some arch conditionals still have to do some (dirty) stuff with rpm macro's if installed with nethserver-install on centos base.

1/2. only distribute arch depended nethserver-release packages for installing on centos base, updates of nethserver-release are are arch independent

I'd go with solution 2, by changing only the template code. If file RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-SIG-AltArch-Arm32 exists, expand its reference under gpgkey=.

I'd go with solution 2,

Oke i'll work on this first so we can get a RC image out;

And then we figure out a solution for the "nethserver-install on centos base" scenario, I think we can magage this in the nethserver-install script. It turns out the system does not break after instlling nethserver-release befor running nethserver-install. It seems just to ignore the ce-base and ce-update declarations as long the Centos-... repo's are enabled

EDIT:
we do not disable the default centos repo's at installing the netserver core modules so we are probably good to for the nethsever-install after all.

more or less the same applies to aarch64 from CentoOS-Base.repo (truncated):

[base]
name=CentOS-$releasever - Base
mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=os&infra=$infra
#baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/$releasever/os/$basearch/
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-7
       file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-7-aarch64

How do we proceed, should I open an issue in /dev referencing this to start QA?

It is the vital missing part to proceed with making / publishing armhfp 7.7.1908 images , aarch64 needs a little work but is also close..

[DavidePrincipi]

I've already tested it on x86_64. If it's ok on the ARM side I can proceed with a new RPM release.

Please, add the "verified" label when ready.

As you might had noticed on the picture @ https://community.nethserver.org/t/teaser-nethserver-cockpit-on-arm/13543 it already states "NethServer release 7.7.1908 (final)"

It was already installed and working , tested aach64 too
