Do these new native RPM packages for RHEL8 still require the Remi repository? This other thread hinted that it might soon be the case:

[Poll: Which Linux distribution of the Red Hat family should we support with a native package?](https://community.passbolt.com/t/poll-which-linux-distribution-of-the-red-hat-family-should-we-support-with-a-native-package/4363)

Our company is part of a highly regulated industry, and our security policy requires us to use commercially supported software wherever possible. While I think that Remi is doing a great job with his repository, it unfortunately does not fall into that category. We had enough problems getting an exception for EPEL…

Kind regards,  
Joerg

Hi @jreut

Thank you for your feedback.

passbolt use gnupg PHP extension ([PECL](https://pecl.php.net/package/gnupg) / [Github project](https://github.com/php-gnupg/php-gnupg)) and unfortunately this extension is not provided as a php package in RHEL distribution and its clones (Rocky, Alma, etc.).

There is 2 ways to install this PHP extension:

- `pecl install gnupg`: This is not a RHEL trusted source and you need to install building tools such as make, gcc, etc. It is not ideal and recommended to install build tools on a production server.
- Build a php-gnupg RPM package.

You thought first build php-gnupg RPM package ourselves, but as we used Remi’s rpm spec sources, and as he is a well known and trusted PHP maintainer in RPM world, we decided to rely on his repository for the gnupg php extension.

If you really need a php gnupg package provided by passbolt, to avoid the use of Remi’s repository, it is maybe something we can consider. You can contact us at [contact@passbolt.com](mailto:contact@passbolt.com) to discuss more about that.

With best regards,
