I believe there's a JSON file stored on the server that can control
this. Unfortunately I don't have access to the server to do that, so
Magnus would have to do that.There is, but the backend and front end parts all assume that every branch is supported on every distro/distro version. We’ll need to build in the ability to specify a support matrix.
1) The backend part (spider_yum.py) is modified to produce output such as this:
./spider_yum.py /var/ftp/pub/repos/yum https://wrigleys.postgresql.org/download/uploadyum/
{"platforms": {"EL-9": [{"arch": "aarch64", "versions": ["16", "15", "14", "13", "12"]}, {"arch": "x86_64", "versions": ["16", "15", "14", "13", "12"]}], "EL-6": [{"arch": "x86_64", "versions": ["12", "11", "10", "96", "95", "94"]}, {"arch": "i386", "versions": ["12", "11", "10", "96", "95", "94"]}], "EL-7": [{"arch": "ppc64le", "versions": ["15", "14", "13", "12"]}, {"arch": "x86_64", "versions": ["15", "14", "13", "12"]}, {"arch": "aarch64", "versions": ["15", "14", "13", "12"]}], "EL-8": [{"arch": "x86_64", "versions": ["16", "15", "14", "13", "12"]}, {"arch": "ppc64le", "versions": ["16", "15", "14", "13", "12"]}, {"arch": "aarch64", "versions": ["16", "15", "14", "13", "12"]}], "F-40": [{"arch": "x86_64", "versions": ["16", "15", "14", "13", "12"]}], "F-38": [{"arch": "x86_64", "versions": ["16", "15", "14", "13", "12"]}], "F-39": [{"arch": "x86_64", "versions": ["16", "15", "14", "13", "12"]}]}}
{"platforms": {"EL-9": [{"arch": "aarch64", "versions": ["16", "15", "14", "13", "12"]}, {"arch": "x86_64", "versions": ["16", "15", "14", "13", "12"]}], "EL-6": [{"arch": "x86_64", "versions": ["12", "11", "10", "96", "95", "94"]}, {"arch": "i386", "versions": ["12", "11", "10", "96", "95", "94"]}], "EL-7": [{"arch": "ppc64le", "versions": ["15", "14", "13", "12"]}, {"arch": "x86_64", "versions": ["15", "14", "13", "12"]}, {"arch": "aarch64", "versions": ["15", "14", "13", "12"]}], "EL-8": [{"arch": "x86_64", "versions": ["16", "15", "14", "13", "12"]}, {"arch": "ppc64le", "versions": ["16", "15", "14", "13", "12"]}, {"arch": "aarch64", "versions": ["16", "15", "14", "13", "12"]}], "F-40": [{"arch": "x86_64", "versions": ["16", "15", "14", "13", "12"]}], "F-38": [{"arch": "x86_64", "versions": ["16", "15", "14", "13", "12"]}], "F-39": [{"arch": "x86_64", "versions": ["16", "15", "14", "13", "12"]}]}}
It gets the platforms and the architectures as it previously did, however it now also finds the latest repo RPM for each platform/architecture combination and extracts the supported versions from the .repo file that would be installed. This seems to be the most robust way of doing this, largely because inferring version support from the RPMs we might find on the filesystem seems vulnerable to failure in various different potential ways.
The downside of this is that it requires two new Python modules to be installed (rpmfile and zstandard); we (the sysadmin team) would need to figure out the best way to do that on ftpmaster.
2) The frontend part is re-jigged to request platform, architecture, and desired PostgreSQL version in that order, with each combo box being populated based on the previous selection. If any options are changed, subsequent ones are cleared for reselection. The observant amongst the audience may have noticed that we have some very old versions in the JSON above, and may wonder what will happen with those. Firstly, I believe Devrim is going to update the repo configs to remove them, however the code does also filter out unsupported versions as well, so even if he didn't, it wouldn't be a problem.
