Hi all,
Just wanted to report that infiniband-diags cannot currently be installed in Fedora CoreOS because the perl dependency is explicitly forbidden.
https://github.com/coreos/fedora-coreos-config/blob/testing-devel/manifests/fedora-coreos.yaml#L170
This is a bit unfortunate because it also prevents usage of all the non-perl utilities (ibstat, etc) included in infiniband-diags.
Would it make sense to split the perl utilities to a separate package infiniband-diags-perl so that the C and shell utilities in infiniband-diags can be installed without the perl dependency?
Thank you,
Shane St Savage

I suggest to remove perl dependency from rdma--core.spec and install
perl-dependant scripts only if perl is found on the system.

That is not how packaging is supposed to work
Everything should be installed always
This is really a Fedora question, we just follow what they
decide. Most likely the right answer is to put this kind of stuff in a
container and not run on the minimal coreos image.

Isn't how we use some packages in pyverbs?

No, just the test suite which we don't really package as an actual
binary

Hi all,
Just wanted to report that infiniband-diags cannot currently be
installed in Fedora CoreOS because the perl dependency is explicitly
forbidden.
https://github.com/coreos/fedora-coreos-config/blob/testing-devel/manifests/fedora-coreos.yaml#L170
This is a bit unfortunate because it also prevents usage of all the
non-perl utilities (ibstat, etc) included in infiniband-diags.
Would it make sense to split the perl utilities to a separate package
infiniband-diags-perl so that the C and shell utilities in
infiniband-diags can be installed without the perl dependency?
Thank you,
