#6950 Retire/block old packages in EPEL-7
Closed: Fixed 6 years ago Opened 6 years ago by smooge.

The following packages can be retired in EPEL. They may have been limited architecture packages at one point, but they are currently causing problems with builds and are available in newer forms in RHEL on aarch64,ppc64,ppc64le

I retired them. They should be removed from the EPEL repo with the next push.

Hi,

Could it be that a mistake was made with iperf3 ? It is a newer version of IPerf and RHEL repo only has iperf2. I was using iperf3 from EPEL repo actively, now see some auto-deploy scripts broken.

Thank you!

RHEL-7.4 should have iperf3 in it.

./rhel-7-server-optional-rpms/Packages/iperf3-devel-3.1.7-2.el7.i686.rpm
./rhel-7-server-optional-rpms/Packages/iperf3-devel-3.1.7-2.el7.x86_64.rpm
./rhel-7-server-rpms/Packages/iperf3-3.1.7-2.el7.i686.rpm
./rhel-7-server-rpms/Packages/iperf3-3.1.7-2.el7.x86_64.rpm

Got it, thank you very much! Just realized there is actually some difference between RHEL and Centos after all...
Will have to wait until Centos maintainers release 7.4 and update the repos.
