rhel-8 and centos-8 rpms are missing gpgme

[ssbarnea]

Apparently there are at several missing dependencies for building libpod rpms on RHEL8/CentOS8:

btrfs-progs-devel
glibc-static
go-md2man
gpgme-devel  # gpgme is but it does not install gpgme.h
libassuan-devel
libgpg-error-devel
libgpg-error-devel

[mheon]

I think you just need to use the btrfs_noversion and exclude_graphdriver_btrfs tags to remove btrfs, which is entirely removed.

The rest are (AFAIK) distributed in other streams on RHEL, but are present somewhere.

[mheon]

(Except maybe go-md2man)

[ssbarnea]

@mheon Thanks for the hint, clearly helped a lot.. Now I am stuck at

# github.com/mtrmac/gpgme
vendor/github.com/mtrmac/gpgme/data.go:4:11: fatal error: gpgme.h: No such file or directory
 // #include <gpgme.h>

What trick do I need to pass that one?

[rhatdan]

@mtrmac Ideas?

[rhatdan]

Could you open a bugzilla on that gpgme to see what they suggest?

[mtrmac]

gpgme-devel # gpgme is but it does not install gpgme.h

That would explain the failure.

WRT asking for the files to be included, that needs to go through the same process as any other build requirement packages (which may or may not result in them being added, to set expectations).

The dependency can be avoided with the containers_image_openpgp Go tag; then the code will not support signing (only verification).

[ssbarnea]

We bypassed the rpm building by disabling gpgme support but this bug should stay open until we will include gpgme support in the rpm.

I've just encountered not being able to install gpgme-devel on centos:8 base image, is there a link somewhere that I can watch how this will be resolved? (I understand not related to libpod project but am a bit desperate to find solution.)

[github-actions]

A friendly reminder that this issue had no activity for 30 days.

[mtrmac]

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1726861 (note, that is primarily about a different package) says:

gpgme-devel is available on CentOS 8 in the PowerTools repository.
The CentOS PowerTools has all the packages found in the RHEL8 codeready-builder-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms (aka: codeready-builder) repository.

dnf --enablerepo=PowerTools list gpgme-devel

Do note that using the CodeReady-Builder repository on RHEL probably has significant impact on the amount of support you can get from Red Hat for the related activities.

@ssbarnea can we close this or ?

[ssbarnea]

AFAIK, no because at this moment we build it without gpgme feature. This would be ok to close when we address this aspect. PRs are welcomed here.

[mtrmac]

PRs to what? This Podman repository? Packaging somewhere?

The link above says that the gpgme-devel package is available, although in a repo that may have to be explicitly enabled. Is that incorrect?

[rhatdan]

I don't see this as an upstream issue.

@ssbarnea , how do you disable building gpgme? I tried using tag exclude_gpgme to no avail.

[rhatdan]

@mtrmac ^^

[mtrmac]

See #4580 (comment) , but I haven’t personally verified that. If the package is missing and you need it, please use your RHEL support options.

The tag to use would be, as mentioned in #4580 (comment) , containers_image_openpgp.

@mtrmac , @mtrmac , thank you!

For anyone interested, here are my steps building podman:

subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms
yum -y install libseccomp libseccomp-devel
cd ${GOPATH}/src/github.com && mkdir -p containers
cd containers && git clone https://github.com/containers/libpod.git
cd libpod
make BUILDTAGS="containers_image_openpgp exclude_graphdriver_btrfs btrfs_noversion exclude_graphdriver_devicemapper selinux seccomp varlink "
./bin/podman -v

cd libpod
make BUILDTAGS="containers_image_openpgp exclude_graphdriver_btrfs btrfs_noversion exclude_graphdriver_devicemapper selinux seccomp varlink "
./bin/podman -v

on RHEL8 after installing the libseccomp I also had to force the pkg-config path to find the libseccomp.pc file.
Like:

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/lib64/pkgconfig"
make BUILDTAGS="containers_image_openpgp exclude_graphdriver_btrfs btrfs_noversion exclude_graphdriver_devicemapper selinux seccomp varlink "
