Description Zvonko Kosic 2021-06-16 12:04:04 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1972662 +++

OOT Kernel modules distrbuted as tar.xz (like for dpdk kni kmods) requires the xz for tar to uncompress it. The same package requires the cmp command (which is part of diffutils) to compile the kmod.

Comment 2 Lena Horsley 2021-06-21 19:45:52 UTC
Verified in build: 4.9.0-0.nightly-2021-06-21-131605

1. Go to the OpenShift release nightly build page for the nightly build, click "Download the installer," and then click "release.txt."


2. Search for "driver-toolkit" and pull the corresponding image to your dev machine with the command:
podman pull --authfile /path/to/pullsecret <openshift_release_repo>/<corresponding_image_to_your_dev_machine>


3. Enter the following command from the terminal:
podman run <image_from_previous_step> dnf list installed | grep <string>


=====================================
Output from the command in step #3:

xz
xz.x86_64                                     5.2.4-3.el8                          @rhel-8-baseos-rpms-x86_64   
xz-libs.x86_64                                5.2.4-3.el8                          @System  


diffutils
diffutils.x86_64                              3.6-6.el8                            @rhel-8-baseos-rpms-x86_64
