AlmaLinux 8 with Foreman 2.5.2 (Satellite 6.10)

Support
3

As a work-a-round, my “fix” was to spoof it as Rocky in the .treeinfo file on my local mirror before consuming into foreman. It seems that foreman at least doesn’t rely on the .treeinfo for OS information. It hasn’t had any issues (so far).

In case someone wants my bash junk:

#!/bin/bash -x

#I should loop this to not load a single mirror
BASEURL="rsync://rsync.repo.almalinux.org/almalinux/"
#BASEURL="rsync://iad.mirror.rackspace.com/almalinux"
#BASEURL="rsync://mirror.interserver.net/almalinux"

VERSION="8"
URL=${BASEURL}/${VERSION}/
BASEDEST=/repos/alma
DEST=${BASEDEST}/${VERSION}/
LOGFILE=/tmp/almasync-${VERSION}
TRY=3
TREEFILE=alma_os_treeinfo

NOTIFY_ADDR="myemail@addr.com"

while [[ $TRY -ne 0 ]] ; do
  #$CMD
  rsync -pavSH -f 'R .~tmp~' --delete-delay --delay-updates ${URL} ${DEST} > $LOGFILE 2>&1
  RET=$?
  if [[ $RET -eq 0 ]] ; then
    echo "fixing permissions"
    chown -R alma. $BASEDEST
    # stupid hack
    sed -i 's/AlmaLinux/Rocky Linux/g' ${DEST}BaseOS/x86_64/os/.treeinfo
    sed -i 's/AlmaLinux/Rocky Linux/g' ${DEST}BaseOS/x86_64/kickstart/.treeinfo
    #chmod 644 $DEST/BaseOS/x86_64/os/.treeinfo
    exit 0
  else
    echo "try num: $TRY"
  fi
  TRY=$(expr $TRY - 1)
done

cat $LOGFILE | mailx -s "AlmaLinux Sync Failed for Version = ${VERSION}" $NOTIFY_ADDR
