EFA updates could be broken....

[dangsite]

I am using eFa-4.0.4

I have been noticing the system is wanting to do a package check/update. Today I performed such a check using option 13.

there were 184 items that were potential updates.

I am saying potential because the following message appears:

Code: Select all

Running transaction check
Transaction check succeeded.
Running transaction test
The downloaded packages were saved in cache until the next successful transaction.
You can remove cached packages by executing 'yum clean packages'.
Error: Transaction test error:

It seems the forum has been very quite lately.

SO I will post this ask:

Is the project still going to be supported?

What is the stance on the project going forward? Given what RedHat did, is there an alternate path being planned?
Security Onion posted this blog article: https://blog.securityonion.net/2023/07/ ... se-os.html This week the group celebrated their 2.4 release which uses Oracle Linux 9. The group has been quite transparent via the blog article.

I know a lot of the efforts are center around Shawn, but I am willing to help -- feel free to post.

It has taken a while but it seems that solution was as simple as typing
dnf remove centos-stream-release-8.6-1.el8.noarc

There seems to be some items left over when the OS transition from the older centos to the rocky linux.

My system seems better as it went from Rocky linux 8.7 to 8.9.

I have added the cockpit package to my server.

While RedHat started the project, 45 Drives (located in Nova Scotia, Canada) has updated the project. This company is one of the Rocky Linux early backers as well.

For me it bridge the gap as it has been a while since I have used the OSes similar to the Red Hat.

I have used eFa to only need to make sure the updates are happening as well as keeping the TLS certs up to date.
