Hi AIX Experts,

I am working on migrating from python 3.7 to python 3.9 ecosystem. I have successfully installed the new rpm.rte 4.15.1.1010 using installp. I am wondering if I now need to run install_dnf.sh to link dnf to the new rpm.rte?

Thanks

Hi Ayappan / SANGAMESH,

Can one of you please respond to my above inquiry? I have also tried to run following dnf command to install python 3.9.16 after only updating rpm.rte and found python 3.9.16 didn't replacing python 3.7 (python3 still pointing to python 3.7 under /opt/freeware/bin). Can you please help on this as well?

dnf install python3.9-3.9.16-2.aix7.1.ppc.rpm

Thanks

Hi Mi,

You need to run dnf update to have default python as python3-3.9.x

This will also update dnf and it's dependencies to python3.9.

I think your repository is pointing to AIX Toolbox repo.

Hi Mi,

If understand, you don't have infrastrucutre to create a local repo using latest Toolbox packages ?

The local repo you currently have is static list of packages and it would be poiting to your local mount path.

local repo is refreshed mostly twice in a year.

Only option for you is to get the list of packages to update DNF and python3 to update them manually ?

Hi Mi

Actually repodata information has to be updated with running createrepo if any new packages are copied.

Better way here is to sync toolbox packages if you have any machine(AIX or Linux with redhat based package manager) with internet access,

run createrepo, and use that repo in your machine.

I have compares the current dnf related packages in our local repository with those under https://public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ppc-7.1/dnf-plugins-core/ and https://public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ppc-7.1/dnf/. I find we don't have those "*4.2.17-32_51*", "*4.0.16-32_51*", "*4.0.16-32_52*" packages and "python3.9*" packages. I downloaded them and copied over to /mnt/RPMS/ppc-7.1, which is defined in [Local_AIX_Toolbox_71] section in the dnf.conf. I then ran 'dnf update'. But this stiil doesn't work.

Thanks

Hi SANGAMESH,

Our team doesn't have the server that meets the requirements for building a local repo (a Unix server with internet connection). So downloading the packages for DNF / python3 update, and doing the update manually is a much easier option. Can you please provide the detailed steps (including the package list)?

Thanks

Mi

Hi Mi,

If understand, you don't have infrastrucutre to create a local repo using latest Toolbox packages ?

The local repo you currently have is static list of packages and it would be poiting to your local mount path.

local repo is refreshed mostly twice in a year.

Only option for you is to get the list of packages to update DNF and python3 to update them manually ? 

Hi Sanket Rathi,

I did read the messages of that link's page previously. But to me, it's not clear how I can make the change so that the AIX Toolbox env will be linked to python3.9.16. Other than rpm.rte, has the dnf bundle package got changed? To me running 'dnf update' to do online update will bring needed changes clearly. But in our environment, it's not doable. I have tried to run the dnf update against the local Toolbox repo (for python 3.7) and then run dnf update python3 and dnf install python3.9-3.9.16-2.aix7.1.ppc.rpm. I still got the same result as before: python3 still points to python 3.7. Please help. By the way, I have already updated rpm.rte to version 4.15.1.1010 .

Thanks

Mi

Hi Sanket Rathi,

Thanks for the information. That's definitely tech solution I will explore. Meantime, I just realize my current challenge is to update the dnf so that the environment will be associated with python 3.9.16, instead of python 3.7. Instead of running 'dnf update' for real time update, I am wondering if IBM have some module / scripts for me to download and then execute to achieve the dnf update purpose?

Thanks

Mi

Can you please provide detailed steps?

Thanks

Mi

of course there is a workaround...set up a local repo mirror. 

Hi SANGAMESH,

Thanks for the information. But our AIX servers don't have direct internet connection due to the security control on them. I am wondering if there is workaround for the python 3.9 related update?

Thanks

Hi Mi,

You need to run dnf update to have default python as python3-3.9.x

This will also update dnf and it's dependencies to python3.9.

I think your repository is pointing to AIX Toolbox repo.

Hi Ayappan / SANGAMESH,

Can one of you please respond to my above inquiry? I have also tried to run following dnf command to install python 3.9.16 after only updating rpm.rte and found python 3.9.16 didn't replacing python 3.7 (python3 still pointing to python 3.7 under /opt/freeware/bin). Can you please help on this as well?

dnf install python3.9-3.9.16-2.aix7.1.ppc.rpm

Thanks

Mi

Hi AIX Experts,

I am working on migrating from python 3.7 to python 3.9 ecosystem. I have successfully installed the new rpm.rte 4.15.1.1010 using installp. I am wondering if I now need to run install_dnf.sh to link dnf to the new rpm.rte?

Thanks

Mi

Hi SANGAMESH,

I am trying to find the machine with internet access. Can you please provide the IP / DNS name and the port # for IBM Toolbox repo server for online update purpose?

Thanks

Mi

Hi Mi

Actually repodata information has to be updated with running createrepo if any new packages are copied.

Better way here is to sync toolbox packages if you have any machine(AIX or Linux with redhat based package manager) with internet access,

run createrepo, and use that repo in your machine.

Hi SANGAMESH and Sanket Rathi,

Can one of you please respond?
