Rh9 rpm build failing

Incus
1

Hello,

I’m using the source RPMS provided by Fedora in an attempt to build RPMs for RHEL9. With a few macro modifications, I was able to build LXC on RHEL9 based on the the lxc-6.0.3-1.fc41.src.rpm from Fedora.

I also downloaded incus-6.8-1.fc41.src.rpm and attempted a build, using mock. I’ve tried both supplying a repo with lxc-6.0.3-1 from above, and without. Both have this same issue…

To build Incus you need a newer “go” version than RHEL9 (and clones) provide. This is only required for the build, not for running Incus.

One way to do it is this:

wget https://go.dev/dl/go1.24.2.linux-amd64.tar.gz
tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.24.2.linux-amd64.tar.gz
export PATH=/usr/local/go/bin:$PATH

Then build your Incus and you’ll be fine. You can grab our Incus-6.12.0 RPM from here:

https://updates.aventurin.net/pub/Aventurin/6110R/EL9/os_updates/x86_64/RPMS/incus-6.12.0-1.el9.x86_64.rpm

The SRPM is here:

https://updates.aventurin.net/pub/Aventurin/6110R/EL9/SRPMS/incus-6.12.0-1.el9.src.rpm

However, the SRPM requires that the build process is started after the above “go”-version has been activated.
