Red Hat 9042 Published by

Remi Collet has announced support for Enterprise Linux 9.



Enterprise Linux 9 Repository

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 Beta is released and  CentOS 9 Stream is available, so my repository is already open and (mostly) fully populated.

As EPEL is not yet ready, for now you have to enable "remi" repository which provides lot of packages usually available in  EPEL.

EL-9 doesn't provide applications as module anymore, but they still can be used, as in EL-8, to provide alternative versions, this is the chosen way for my repository.

Other clones (Alma, Rocky, ...) version 9 are not yet available.

Repository installation :

# dnf install  https://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-9.rpm
# dnf config-manager --set-enabled remi

And, for example, to install PHP 8.1

# dnf module install php:remi-8.1
# php --version
PHP 8.1.0RC5 (cli) (built: Oct 27 2021 00:20:44) (NTS gcc x86_64)
Copyright (c) 1997-2018 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v4.1.0-dev, Copyright (c) Zend Technologies

Notice, if you want to install various versions simultaneously, the Software Collections of PHP 8.0 et 8.1 are also available.

# dnf install php80
# module load php80
# php --version
PHP 8.0.12 (cli) (built: Oct 19 2021 10:34:32) ( NTS gcc x86_64 )
Copyright (c) 1997-2016 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v4.0.12, Copyright (c) Zend Technologies

Time to open a good bottle of Champagne !

P.S. You can use the  Tracker #189 to report any issue.
