New cockpit updates not being found on Rocky Linux/CentOS 8

[wsandy1]

I'm trying to update my cockpit version to release 264. I believe it should be on the stream by now, but even if it isn't, I know new updates aren't being found as apparently cockpit is still on version 251.3:

If I run yum clean all followed by yum update cockpit, it says no updates are found:

Fairly sure there should be versions newer than 251 on the stream, but I've got no idea how to convince rocky to find them. Cheers.

I'm not familiar with Rocky Linux, but I think it made a specific point about not following CentOS 8 stream, but basing off the latest stable "legacy" CentOS based on RHEL 8.5. So you won't find updates there. (YAFIYGI!)

If you do want package updates, move to CentOS 8 stream, or use our COPR for the latest cockpit versions.

COPR works great cheers

As of today COPR no longer works as it is missing an EPEL8 build. @martinpitt

It was present until at least 22/04/05 @ https://download.copr.fedorainfracloud.org/results/@cockpit/cockpit-preview/epel-8-x86_64/

Are there any plans on providing EPEL8 builds again ?

Using the centos8stream builds is not an options as they depend on non-existent versions of policy-targeted

concerning YAFIYGI : the resulting need to publish an additional build for latest packages from projects like cockpit has been caused by the RedHat "Centos Stream"-Change, which leads to my holy oppinion that, if early feedback is one of the reasons for the cockpit-team to provide the COPR preview, then this extra build-target is what RedHat has asked for, not the users!
