RPM Packaging for SABnzbd for Fedora 30+ and CentOS/Redhat 8

[l2g]

I tried to share this info on /r/usenet but it got down voted into oblivion. Since it took me several hours to build an entire RPM suite for SABnzbd with extensions, I figured I'd try just passing the announcement here too.

@safihre please feel free to delete/move this post if this isn't the right spot for it.

You basically just have to connect to my repository (Nuxref);

Code: Select all

# Visit http://nuxref.com/nuxref-repository/ for the latest instructions
# but otherwise...:

# CentOS/Redhat/OracleLinux v8.0 Users:
sudo rpm -Uhi http://repo.nuxref.com/centos/8/en/x86_64/custom/nuxref-release-1.0.0-5.el8.nuxref.noarch.rpm

# Fedora Users:
VER=32
sudo rpm -Uhi http://repo.nuxref.com/fedora/fc32/en/x86_64/custom/nuxref-release-1.0.0-5.fc$VER.nuxref.noarch.rpm

CentOS 8 users will need to connect to EPEL:

Code: Select all

# EPEL Hookup
sudo dnf install -y epel-release

Then install what you need:

Code: Select all

# sabnzbd
sudo dnf install -y sabnzbd

# I've only packaged one script so far:
sudo dnf install -y sabnzbd-script-notify

# Once installed, the plugins will just show up in you SABnzbd settings - it's that easy

There is better (and more detailed) instructions here, but the above pretty much sums it up.

If you want me to add more extensions built as RPMs, just let me know. Please keep in mind they must work in Python v3.

Great that you did that!

I'm not a Centos user, but I tried the below.⎄

Am I doing something wrong? Should I install the dependencies by hand?

[l2g]

Hmm...

Strange, you're installing the el8 release, but your packages it's trying to find are fc31 (Fedora Core 31).

Another note is some of those packages are provided elsewhere so i didn't want to waste disk-space and rehost them. But maybe to ease the setup, i should probably do this. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I'll get this straightened out.

Some of the RPMs you failed to find you can get by just also being hooked up to EPEL:

Code: Select all

# EPEL Hookup
sudo dnf install -y epel-release

Thank you for bringing this to my attention!

[sander]

@Sanders; first off thank you so much for testing all this. I tested Fedora 31 and 33 and i just assumed it would work with EL8 since i didn't change any of the EL7 sections of the RPM SPEC file. You graciously proved me wrong

First off the epel-release RPM forwhatever reason is looking entirely at the wrong repo. So for you:

Code: Select all

# Drop the RPM out
sudo rpm -e nuxref-release

# Put it back in (fixed version)
sudo rpm -Uhi http://repo.nuxref.com/centos/8/en/x86_64/custom/nuxref-release-1.0.0-5.el8.nuxref.noarch.rpm

• I didn't realize that python3-feedparser doesn't ship with EL8 (but does with all Fedora versions). I built it for EL8 and added it to the repo. That will fix that entry.
• I built the unrar packages as well and am now hosting them; so that will no longer be a problem
• dbus-python i dropped as a Required RPM; i don't feel it's needed personally.

You may need to flush your cache to pull in the new repo updates:

Code: Select all

sudo dnf clean all
sudo dnf install sabnzbd

[sander]

Wit a fresh docker I did this:

Code: Select all

rpm -e nuxref-release
rpm -Uhi http://repo.nuxref.com/centos/8/en/x86_64/custom/nuxref-release-1.0.0-5.el8.nuxref.noarch.rpm
dnf clean all
dnf install sabnzbd

Is that correct? It gives the errors below

It's all good; you just forgot about the one step that CentOS 8 first requires you to connect to EPEL i spoke of earlier (i already updated the blog).

Code: Select all

# EPEL Hookup
sudo dnf install -y epel-release

I'll update my original comment above too

[sander]

After

Code: Select all

rpm -Uhi http://repo.nuxref.com/centos/8/en/x86_64/custom/nuxref-release-1.0.0-5.el8.nuxref.noarch.rpm
dnf install -y epel-release
dnf install -y sabnzbd

I could indeed run

Code: Select all

/usr/share/sabnzbd/SABnzbd.py

Well done! Thank you for providing the repo

[kjtsanaktsidis]

Hey @l2g - thanks for your work putting this together. Unfortunately I tried to set this up today but I can't install any of the packages because the TLS certs on your server are broken (you're only serving up the leaf certificate, but you need to serve the R3 letsencrypt intermediate as well).

I wrote up a big spiel about what the issue was but it's chock-full of URLs, and the forum won't let me post any because i'm a new user :/ so... if you want the detailed diagnosis on why it's not working (and why it works fine in browsers), i put it in a gist at.... "https" // gist dot github dot com /KJTsanaktsidis/ee2efa514c1117184d7683920e94fcf7

[l2g]

@kjtsanaktsidis: Thank you so much for such an in-depth investigation! I had no idea I wasn't bundling it correctly.

I think I've fixed this now (all thanks to your directional help)!
