[Bug] - amazon-linux-extras: command not found on 2023.0.20230315.0

[wojaczek]

We used to run amazon-linux-extras to install various additional packages on amazonlinux. Starting from the latest push command disappeared.

To Reproduce
FROM public.ecr.aws/amazonlinux/amazonlinux:latest
RUN amazon-linux-extras install python3.8
=> ERROR [ 2/13] RUN amazon-linux-extras install python3.8 1.3s

Expected behavior
Proceed with python3.8 installation

Ok, I see what's happened. amazon-linux-extras retried with amazonlinux2023. Will update my Docker builds and stop yelling.

Do let us know if there's anything that would be good to have on https://docs.aws.amazon.com/linux/al2023/ug/compare-with-al2.html that isn't there already!

I found that python-devel is not there. In my usecase I need that to compile pycurl module, and this one, in turn, is required to run celery on SQS. I'd greatly appreciate adding this to the package base.

You want python3-devel. The standard in the python community is that unversioned "python" refers to python 2, which we do not ship. Python 3 packages would typically be named python3-*

Yeah, i looked at Python3, i See python3.9 and python3.11, but for none of them devel package exists, as per the page: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/linux/al2023/release-notes/all-packages.html Regards Olek czw., 16 mar 2023, 21:10 użytkownik Noah Meyerhans ***@***.***> napisał:

They're definitely there:

The page you cited lists only source (main) packages, not subpackages. python3-devel is a subpackage of python3, which is listed there.

I have had it in the back of my mind that we could add binary packages to the comparison with AL2 and all packages page. It shouldn't be terribly hard to do.... the trickiest bit being working out how to render the HTML to show it.

[stewartsmith]

FYI, a couple of months ago we did add the binary RPMs to all the package comparison pages in the AL2023 documentation. So you can now see more in-depth changes between AL2 and AL2023.
