glad to see there’s now a repo for amazon linux 2, but why is the package not in sync with latest release?
To date the latest is 2.48.2 while the repo only offers 2.47.1

Thanks for trying out the repository. We’ve pushed an update, snapd-2.48.2-1.amzn2.1
should be available now.
Thanks for your prompt response! Will certainly try out the new release. That being said, hopefully the whole process can be fully automated in near future? To put this to production use the timely availability of update is critical.
Thanks again for the push, appreciate it.
The repository has been updated to include snapd 2.50 release.
Hey @mborzecki, thanks for the work but unfortunately I cannot install snapd like in your instructions. I tried yum install snapd-2.47.1-1.amzn2.1
but got No package snapd-2.47.1-1.amzn2.1 available
I then tried to find the newest version at https://people.canonical.com/~mvo/snapd/amazon-linux2/repo/sources/packages/
and tried to install $ sudo yum install snapd-2.51-1.amzn2.1
but same result. I am using Amazon Linux 2 with centos rhel fedora. Could you help me sort out this issue? I would be very grateful Thanks already!
Do you have EPEL enabled on your machine?

Hey, thanks for the super fast answer. Unfortunately it is still not working.
I tried your commands and got this:

Thanks for taking so much time to help me!
You need to add the snapd repository which is linked at the very top. The version of snapd from EPEL is built against RHEL repositories, but AMZN2 repositories are outdated and thus the package cannot be installed.
Just cd /etc/yum.repos.d && wget https://people.canonical.com/~mvo/snapd/amazon-linux2/snapd-amzn2.repo
.
Ah well I missed that, it works now, thank you very much! Have a great day!
I’m using Amazon Linux 2 on Aarch64.
So if you could create a repository for Aarch64, I would be very happy.
AFAICT Amazon Linux 2 aarch 64 images are not available for download and I don’t have an instance. You can always grab the srpm from the repository and build it yourself. https://people.canonical.com/~mvo/snapd/amazon-linux2/repo/sources/packages/snapd-2.51-1.amzn2.1.src.rpm
The packages have been updated to 2.53.2.
Hi,
Can you please improve on the systemd service by adding
EnvironmentFile=-/etc/environment
I have to manually add them back each time after the rpm updated as my servers are behind a proxy.
Or should a request be logged on the snapd github?
The packages use /etc/sysconfig/snapd which is what is expected of any package coming from Fedora/EPEL. The packages provided in the repository are a rebuild of what is available in EPEL, but with SELinux disabled (as Amazon’s own repositories provide outdated versions of selinux policy). I intend to keep them as close as possible to what is in EPEL.
As an admin you can drop a *.conf
override file in /etc/systemd/system/snapd.service.d/
directory with the following content:
[Service]
Environment=-/etc/environment
Which also means you don’t have to edit anything after updating the packages.
Thank you! This works great!
@mborzecki Is the repo for AMZN2 being continuously updated? Last updated was in November last year.
Yes, I’ll be pushing the update to 2.54.3 soon.
Sorry for the delay. The 2.54.3 packages have been uploaded.
Hi,
I am using Amazon Linux 2 (aarch64) on Amazon EC2, and have downloaded the latest SRPM from the repository here:
And then I tried to install dependencies with:
sudo yum-builddep snapd-2.54.3-1.amzn2.1.src.rpm
After that, I tried building with:
rpmbuild --rebuild snapd-2.54.3-1.amzn2.1.src.rpm
But it failed with:
Installing snapd-2.54.3-1.amzn2.1.src.rpm
error: Failed build dependencies:
compiler(go-compiler) is needed by snapd-2.54.3-1.amzn2.1.aarch64
Before installing dependencies, there were much more lines than this. After installing dependencies, there is still one line. It seems that yum-builddep
cannot solve this dependency automatically.
What can I do?
