Description

In order to perform a system update my binding needs to launch dnf install....
But dnf can only be launched by user root, whereas my binding is at the moment started as user rp-owner like shown below:

BMS2ORP_BINDING=bms2orp-binding
RP_USER=rp-owner
AFM_CMD="runuser -u ${RP_USER} -- afm-util"
${AFM_CMD} start ${BMS2ORP_BINDING} > /dev/null

Please detail how this problem can be solved within redpesk framework.

  • Status changed from New to Submitter feedback needed

newer version of the spawn-binding are currently evaluated.

We need to get more detail on the need:

  • is it "dnf install a-predefined-application"?
  • is it "dnf install a-parametric-application"?
  • is it also "dnf update/upgrade"?

Hello Jose,

The idea was to have spawn-binding launching a shell script that would run dnf to install a few rpms.
The list of rpms can vary but support for "dnf update/upgrade" isn't required.

Emmanuel.

  • Priority changed from High to Normal

Priority decreased to normal as a workaround was developed to allow installation of rpms with dnf.
