Hi everybody,

Just tested maas snap 3.1.0 with curtin 21.3 (custom snap) and seems to install rocky linux 8.4 without any problems.

Hi everybody:

here it is:

update to this:

maas 3.1.0-10901-g.f1f8f1505 17913 3.1/stable canonicalāœ“ -
maas-cli 0.6.5 13 latest/stable canonicalāœ“ -

update DB:

postgresql-12 12.9-0ubuntu0.20.04.

check for MAAS running as usual.

Then running as root:

cd
wget https://github.com/canonical/curtin/archive/refs/tags/21.3.tar.gz
tar xvfz 21.3.tar.gz
cd curtin-21.3/
python3.8 setup.py build
cd
snap stop maas.supervisor
umount /snap/maas/17913
unsquashfs /var/lib/snapd/snaps/maas_17913.snap
cd squashfs-root
ls -al build/lib/curtin/
rm -rf /root/squashfs-root/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/curtin/
cp -R build/lib/curtin /root/squashfs-root/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/
ls -al /root/squashfs-root/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/curtin/
cd
mksquashfs squashfs-root maas_17913.snap
-> make a backup copy of original snap!!!
-> then
cp maas_17913.snap /var/lib/snapd/snaps/
chmod 600 /var/lib/snapd/snaps/maas_17913.snap
reboot

hope it helps!

Francesco

Rocky is now supported via packer MAAS templates.
