Enable ARC7 nightly builds for almalinux (rocky)
Setup a CRON job (e.g. /etc/cron.daily/update-arc-nightly-time.sh) to fetch the latest nightlies date:
cat << EOF > /etc/cron.daily/update-arc-nightly-time.sh
#!/bin/bash
curl -s http://builds.nordugrid.org/nightlies/nordugrid-arc/next/ | sed -n 's/^.*<a.*>\(.*\)\/<\/a>.*$/\1/p' | sort | tail -1 > /etc/yum/vars/arcnightly
EOF
Run the CRON script once manually* to have the arcnightly variable initialized. Also, make sure the script has executable permissions:
sudo /bin/bash /etc/cron.daily/update-arc-nightly-time.sh
sudo chmod +x /etc/cron.daily/update-arc-nightly-time.sh
To add the nightlies repository to your RHEL-based system, create a /etc/yum.repos.d/nordugrid-nightly.repo with the following content:
cat << EOF > /etc/yum.repos.d/nordugrid-nightly.repo
