Re: [HTCondor-users] building condor rpm metapackage (to avoid circular dependencies)

[Benoit Roland <benoit.roland@xxxxxxx>]

    Dear all,
    
    to have the condor version with my Helmoltz AAI CredMon installed on
    our login node, I need to run the command:
    
    yum install -y
    condor-credmon-mytoken-23.5.0-0.202402200404.el8.x86_64.rpm
    condor-23.5.0-0.202402200404.el8.x86_64.rpm
    python3-condor-23.5.0-0.202402200404.el8.x86_64.rpm
    
    
    because of the circular dependency between the packages.
    
    This was fine for my test setup.
    
    But I would like to deploy this condor version via puppet, and
    puppet can not handle packages with circular dependencies.
    
    That's the reason why I was asking, if there exists some condor.spec
    file producing a condor metapackage, like the one I would access
    from the condor repo?
    
    Thanks a lot in advance for your help!
    
    Cheers,
    ben
