Re: Dell DSU for Linux (RHEL8/CentOS8) now requires EPEL

[EXTERNAL EMAIL] 

That's a good catch.  Hopefully Dell will act soon...  However, wasn't there some discussion of OMSA/dsu moving away from libssh2?  Did anything come of that?  I can't think all customers of Dell would be happy to enable EPEL on their servers to get official Dell support functionality working.

Howdy,

If anyone monitoring this mailing list has edit perms for https://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/dsu/ , please add a note that the EPEL repository is now required for RHEL8/CentOS8.

Red Hat stopped providing libssh2 in the RHEL8 repos (CentOS has mirrored the behavior as expected). The package maintenance has now moved to EPEL.

libssh2 is the only library required by /usr/sbin/dsu that isn't available in the official repositories.

Thanks, Mike
