[LON-CAPA-admin] Availability of LONCAPA-prerequisites 1-36 in advance of LON-CAPA 2.12.0 release

[Raeburn, Stuart]

Hello,

The LON-CAPA repos at install.loncapa.org have been updated in advance of the forthcoming 2.12.0 release.  Accordingly, when cron next runs CHECKRPMS, if email notification is enabled, a message will be sent stating that a package update is needed.

Besides LONCAPA-prerequisites 1-36 (required for 2.12.0) -- updated from 1-35 -- texlive-acrotex has been updated, and for RHEL/Alma/Rocky/Oracle/CentOS-stream 9 a newer version of ghostscript (9.56) has been added to the LON-CAPA repos.

To accompany this update, the hashing algorithm used by the GPG key to sign rpms (and debs) in LON-CAPA's repositories has been updated so LON-CAPA repos can be provided for RHEL/Alma/Rocky/Oracle/CentOS-stream 10, Ubuntu 26 and Debian 13 (all supported in 2.12.0).

1. You will need to delete the public signing key previously imported for LON-CAPA and import the new public key.

Use the commands listed below for the Linux distro -- RHEL, Alma, Rocky, Oracle, CentOS, Fedora, SLES, Debian or Ubuntu -- and version in use.

sudo is already present in each command for Ubuntu and Debian.  For other distros you will either need to be root or prepend sudo for each command
