@skynet Your yum $releasever variable is set to latest, which is not valid for RHEL or CentOS. For example, the CentOS 6 URL should be:

https://repos.influxdata.com/centos/6/latest/x86_64/stable/repodata/repomd.xml

Are you using Amazon Linux or some other derivative of CentOS?

@skynet Okay, thank you for clarifying. We'll be adding support for Amazon Linux at some point, but the repo is currently only configured for RHEL and CentOS. For the time being, I believe you should be able to hard-code the URL to point to the 6 repo by modifying the InfluxDB repo settings like so:

[influxdb]
name = InfluxDB Repository
baseurl = https://repos.influxdata.com/centos/6/\$basearch/stable
enabled = 1
gpgcheck = 1
gpgkey = https://repos.influxdata.com/influxdb.key

I'll update this issue when official support is added.

Thanks @rossmcdonald. How about a beta channel, since I am already using 0.9.6-0.1.rc1

@skynet We do have an unstable channel, which is currently pointing to 0.9.6rc1. Just swap stable in the snippet above with unstable.

We are experimenting with simplifying our open GitHub Issues. This feature request has been rolled into an aggregate issue for all packaging requests, so that we can close this issue until we are ready to work on it.

You may continue to make comments here. Closing the issue does not mean we are rejecting this idea.

Add workaround for Amazon Linux repo location issue (#101)

* Use Ruby 2.4

* Add workaround for Amazon Linux repo location issue

As per influxdata/influxdb#5035, Amazon Linux
sets the yum $releasever variable to "latest", which means that standard
RedHat repo configuration won't work. The suggested workaround in the
issue above is to hardcode the release version to 6 on Amazon Linux.

There is an open issue with Telegraf to fix packaging for Amazon Linux
(among others): influxdata/influxdb#6454.
However, given that it's been open over two years now, I'm not holding
my breath.
