Do you mean to say that you don't have new packages for RPM?

Do you mean to say that you don't have new packages for RPM?

Yes.
Upto Version v2.2.16 RPM is available for x86_64
From Version v2.2.17 onwards RPM available for aarch64 only. RPM not available for x86_64.

Kindly suggest, aarch RPM generated by Replication Manager, will it support for x86_64 ?

Tried in my PC (x86_64), with aarch64 RPM. But its not happening.

sudo yum install replication-manager-osc-2.2.20-1.aarch64.rpm
[sudo] password for xxxxxxx:
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks
Examining replication-manager-osc-2.2.20-1.aarch64.rpm: 1651489779:replication-manager-osc-2.2.20-1.aarch64
Cannot add package replication-manager-osc-2.2.20-1.aarch64.rpm to transaction. Not a compatible architecture: aarch64
Error: Nothing to do

From version v2.2.17 on wards purposely x86_64 RPM support is removed ?

[tanji]

No, it's an error, thanks for reporting. We will restore it and keep you posted

PS: aarch64 is for ARM CPU, you cannot use it on x86 architecture ;)
