OS Matrix says that RHEL/Rocky/Oracle v10 is supported but repository install method is not working

[linecolumn]

Hello team,

As per RKE v1.34 OS Matrix page, https://www.suse.com/suse-rke2/support-matrix/all-supported-versions/rke2-v1-34/, RHEL/Rocky/Oracle v10 are supported, but when using RPM repository based install method from https://docs.rke2.io/install/methods I have that URLs are not existing:

# export RKE2_MINOR=34
# export LINUX_MAJOR=10
# cat << EOF > /etc/yum.repos.d/rancher-rke2-1-${RKE2_MINOR}-latest.repo
[rancher-rke2-common-latest]
name=Rancher RKE2 Common Latest
baseurl=https://rpm.rancher.io/rke2/latest/common/centos/${LINUX_MAJOR}/noarch
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
repo_gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://rpm.rancher.io/public.key

[rancher-rke2-1-${RKE2_MINOR}-latest]
name=Rancher RKE2 1.${RKE2_MINOR} Latest
baseurl=https://rpm.rancher.io/rke2/latest/1.${RKE2_MINOR}/centos/${LINUX_MAJOR}/x86_64
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
repo_gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://rpm.rancher.io/public.key
EOF

Checking that everything is properly written to the repo file:

# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/rancher-rke2-1-34-latest.repo
[rancher-rke2-common-latest]
name=Rancher RKE2 Common Latest
baseurl=https://rpm.rancher.io/rke2/latest/common/centos/10/noarch
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
repo_gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://rpm.rancher.io/public.key

[rancher-rke2-1-34-latest]
name=Rancher RKE2 1.34 Latest
baseurl=https://rpm.rancher.io/rke2/latest/1.34/centos/10/x86_64
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
repo_gpgcheck=1

Is repo method of installing RKE v2 is still viable/supported on RHEL/Rocky/Oracle v10?

[brandond]

We do not have separate el10 repos. The el9 repos should work, see:

• Install script uses EL8 repo on EL10, breaking selinux #9112

@brandond is the separation planned in the future? I think having having a 10 repository would allow us to more cleanly seperate the packages
