ERROR trying to upgrade jenkins to 2.303.1 yields message: daemonize is needed

      hi,

       

      i'm trying to upgrade jenkins using the redhat package from:

      http://mirrors.jenkins-ci.org/redhat-stable/jenkins-2.303.1-1.1.noarch.rpm

       

      the following set of commands yields an installation error:

      ================================

      -bash-4.2$ sudo rpm -Uvh jenkins-2.303.1-1.1.noarch.rpm
      warning: jenkins-2.303.1-1.1.noarch.rpm: Header V4 RSA/SHA512 Signature, key ID 45f2c3d5: NOKEY
      error: Failed dependencies:
      daemonize is needed by jenkins-2.303.1-1.1.noarch

      ================================

       

      for the past couple of years (at least 5 years) I was able to do so.

      did something change in this rpm?

      P.S. I installed openjdk11 a week ago - the jenkins controller is working properly.

          Refer to the installation instructions at https://www.jenkins.io/doc/book/installing/linux/#red-hat-centos for the current install instructions. The Jenkins rpm package now requires the daemonize package that is available from the epel-release repository.

          Thanks for detecting that we didn't include that change in the Jenkins 2.303.1 upgrade guide. It needs to be included there, in addition to the inclusion in the installation instructions.

          thanks markewaite!

          since I'm installing it on an air-gapped centos 6 server, can you please make sure the instructions contain exactly what is needed - package wise?

          also - is there any additional configuration which needs to be done prior to the upgrade itself.

          thanks.

          amidar I'm sorry, but I don't test CentOS 6 and don't intend to document or test for CentOS 6. CentOS 6 end of life was November 2020.

          The command line git version included in CentOS 6 has several use cases that do not work with the Jenkins git plugin. CentOS 6 does not receive maintenance updates.
