CentOS 7 support

[mperham]

Alas, your EPEL instructions don't work for CentOS 7. Any chance we can get a freight el/7 rpm?

$ sudo yum repolist
repo id                                                  repo name                                                                              status

I was able to hack around this by installing the el/6 package on el/7.

$ cd /etc/yum.repos.d
$ more freight.repo 
[freight]
name=Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 6 - $basearch
#baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/$basearch
mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-6&arch=$basearch
failovermethod=priority
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
$ sudo yum install freight
$ sudo rm freight.repo

The binaries run but who knows how reliable they'll be.

@domcleal can you chime in here, please? I don't use or have any Red Hat boxen so I can't help debug this issue.

[domcleal]

Looks like EPEL7 was missing a dpkg build, so freight hadn't been pushed (due to the RPM dep). I've requested the dpkg maintainer build + publish it, then I can push freight.

Sorry about that!

@domcleal could you please update this?

[domcleal]

Thanks for the reminder. I've built it again in EPEL, fixed a bug and the update is now here: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/freight-0.3.5-6.el7

It'll be published in the epel-testing repo in a few days I expect, or grab it from koji in the meantime. If it works, please give karma on the above updates page so it gets into the main EPEL7 repo.

@domcleal thanks for the quick response!

it looks like line 78 of freight-cache still uses dirname $(dirname $0) but once I changed that to /usr/share/ all was good

[domcleal]

Good catch, I fixed a couple more too. I'll try and write a reusable patch to submit to this repo soon, probably reusing the libdir from the Makefile somehow.
